Cardano crossword number 1 (update, the reward is now 600 Ada)

I can’t say for sure and I don’t want to spoil the fun. I’ll give you this - where can 27 words be used in Cardano ecosystem? The answer is in this thread replies.

Also - have a look at the reply from the creator. Sounds like a blockchain doesn’t it?

I hope the winner will come forward and tell us they secured the prize, I suspect they will need to move the Ada before anyone else does?

What’s the cipher? I assumed it was a hex-encoded string of bytes. Then, because of repeating bytes, I guessed it was a simple shift cipher, but I couldn’t brute force it, so maybe it’s something else.

Am I missing something here or are you over complicating it?

  1. in the wallet or address? ADA and LOVELACE
    2.image
  2. cypher key: is to sort the words into the correct order, ie: 23A is the answer in 23 across.
    This would then provide the secret words to open the wallet? (below)
    23A Gospel
    5D episode
    18D depend
    1D tomato
    20A crunch
    4D start
    19A bench
    2D ignore
    14D excuse
    9D write
    13A evidence
    17D sniff
    16D neck
    11D Dutch
    10A word
    12A tuition
    8A opera
    3A cargo
    21D hip
    7D reward
    24D silly
    6D match
    15A hen
    23D gain

Haha, I overcomplicated the problem quite a bit, and didn’t even notice that it’s all A and D.

Oh one other thing I wanted to mention, once I posted that cipher I no longer have control of the funds.

There was no one to validate your answers it was more like “getting the private key and run away with the funds”. If you own the private key, you control the funds.
