    Hi,

    I think I know what cipher this is but the hint on the case files is rlly baffling. I tried many words that might be useful to look up but nothing seems to work.

    Any suggestions?

    Keep trying? Good luck, Harry

    Hi, I have solved Part A, but sadly, I haven’t solved Part B yet, so here is a little hint for those who need it.
    Research different variants of ciphers that have come up so far because, as the tips mentioned, “It is not completely unrelated.”
    I haven’t given away much so hopefully Harry will let this through.

    I think we have something of the same name in France in our hospitals.

    OHH THANK YOU! That was really helpful! I finally know what the cipher now but the key is still confusing me…

    Again thank you so much for the hint!

    I’ve already solved 10A so hopefully Harry lets this one through.
    The picture is of a key that is a ‘something’ key.
    This also links to the name of the cipher itself. It’s one we’ve used before but this one has a little extra to it.

    Here is a clue for 10A:

    Think about the Viginere cipher, and see what you can do to change it up. Maybe you could research some variants…

    I thought about using the full quotation on “the best laid plans…” but when I tried that, it didn’t work. Am I on the right tracks and if not, where should I be looking?

    Please help! This is getting rlly frustrating!!

    Quite a cataclysmic cipher 10A

    I have to hold this back, but I do like it. Harry
