    Good work!

    Although, this result is incredibly interesting. The chunks have the same amount of letters as they would have normally until 5, where words that have 5 or more letters are just 5 letter chunks.
    So for all we know, there could be a huge word in there somewhere.

    for people who don't understand: every word apart from the last has 5+ letters, and the last has 2.

    Now back to the code:
    GLBIC RUXIH NVOME QZJBY NDOTJ EXOZM HKJQA NDVAZ LMFPI BPBNH KPNLS YLVWZ DW

    The last word, DW, we know is a two letter word. As such, we have a major starting point for this code.

    Hint was the key for the hint given in the 5th page, based on ReReverse's post the decoded text tells us that the segments of 5 letters aren't necessarily 5 letter words, but instead could be longer/shorter words but split up to make 5 letter segments, the only word we know the exact length of is the last one, which is 2 letters.

    The great thing about that is that there aren't many 2 letter words that could have been used... the bad thing is with only 2 letters known it doesn't help amazingly... but as ReReverse said, it's a great start, much more than we had before.

    Hm tbh I still think a bit different about this.
    In my opinion, the only thing we know for sure is that the answer will have 62 letters (needs confirmation) and the ciphertext is split into blocks of 5.
    The last thing only has 2 because the ciphertext has 62 letters, so 2 too much to just create blocks of 5, which makes the ciphertext have 12 blocks of 5 and 1 block of 2.
    This is how I see it. Technically, if it was encrypted multiple times, we have a problem.

    so we cracked the first hint, now the actual code.
    in one comment colin said that it isnt a cipher, "who said its a cipher?", something like that.
    so what could it be? before we actually start decoding, we need the ways of decoding, so we all can work together and try everything.

    I'm like 79% sure it's multiple ciphers starting with columnar transposition. Anybody know any corkus areas with 5 letters to try?

    Read the hint #1 solution (in the thread desc) more carefully on what it is and the key for it.
    ________________________________
    So to wrap things up, with the release of Corkus' changelog and the formal release date, it clearly defeats the purpose of this cipher.

    The purpose of this challenge was to experiment with the community and really observe the discussion. This experiment also yielded some interesting results:
    1. The community hates secrets
    2. The community likes ciphers
    3. The community wants more of these, because you guys get free loot from my bank

    To all those who were interested, the two letter word at the end was TM, and which by implication, I'm sure you can figure out the gist of the rest of the cipher. However, I will not disclose how I came up with this code.

    Since I'm cutting this short and not giving a reward to someone (except the person who solved the hint first), I'll post another one this week sometime.

    Somehow, I'm still confused on how to get the final answer. Caesar cipher key 13 gets us TM, but what next?

    This is honestly still unsolved haha
