    I understand the clue in the case files but i am really struggling to find any keywords that work. Is there a different letter i must omit, do i have to continue on the alphabet from the keyword. Are there any keywords i am missing?

    If you understand the clue in the case file then you know what is needed – getting the keyword will begin the key to a solve

    Harry might censor this, but I don’t think there’s any need to omit letters

    Does anybody know if the keywords are related to the phrase ‘The best laid plans’?

    Does anybody know if the keywords are related to the phrase ‘The best laid plans’?

    That would be telling, especially if they go very very wrong!

    BTW you only need one keyword.

    Have you tried just brute forcing it?

    Also does anyone actually know what cipher part A is?

    I think it is traditional at this point for me to shout “I do, me, I do!!!!!” Harry

    Have you tried a crib at strategic points in the text?

    @someone
    I had assumed that you knew what type of cipher 10A is from your very first post, but obviously you do not!

    Take another look at the 10.1 Case File, could it be a USA key and not a UK one?

    I think Ford are made in both countries, but see what you mean. Harry
