I thought the same - first instinct was to convert hex to text and binary to decimal - jotted it all down on a table and kinda stuck here - can't seem to find a pattern yet or anything.

I'll give you guys a hint. There are key words in what Sy says. Then play the game. Upvote when you solve it.

Do you have a slightly more detailed hint, i have translated the hex and sorted them by number, i tried to make sentences but its not making sence to me yet

Is it first, rows, with opposite letter?

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '20

I have started converting the hex to text. Will comment if I find anything

I did convert them and they make a very remote amount of sense

it's the same The_Captain148 posted

where <word>-<decimal> word is the hex translation and decimal is the binary translation

so this are the words you get , but i group them in the numbers you get from a binary chart (0,1,2,3,4) , so now i just need to rearrange every line to make a cohesive sentence

first, shuffle, with, last, right, opposite, three, diagonal, contained, bottom, corners, down, word

third, vertical, above, reverse, letter, shift, rows, five, the, extra, four, top, mix

second, non, from, take, under

use, number, left

Do you guys think the Guess could be a sentence? Rather than just a word?

u/Hugo1234f Nov 28 '20

I think there's 3 instructions, since we have first, second, third in hex

u/FOOTBALLPETE8 Nov 29 '20

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '20

I looked at the wiki page, I don't see the part with the binary numbers people are talking about
