Here’s my helper script, maybe it’ll be of some use for future puzzles:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
import re

puzzle_3 = {
    '4A': 'vessel',
    '7A': 'rhythm',
    '8A': 'brain',
    '10A': 'private',
    '11A': 'alert',
    '13A': 'little',
    '14A': 'milk',
    '16A': 'cost',
    '17A': 'carry',
    '18A': 'animal',
    '19A': 'wage',
    '20A': 'payment',
    '21A': 'humor',
    '25A': 'change',
    '1D': 'push',
    '2D': 'history',
    '3D': 'remove',
    '5D': 'example',
    '6D': 'street',
    '9D': 'festival',
    '11D': 'alter',
    '12D': 'romance',
    '15D': 'know',
    '16D': 'champion',
    '17D': 'candy',
    '22D': 'unfair',
    '23D': 'rule',
}

def parse_key(keystr):
    normalized = ''.join(keystr.upper().split())
    split = re.split(r'(\d+[AD])', normalized, flags=re.ASCII)
    return list(filter(None, split))

def print_ordered(indices, puzzle_dict):
    try:
        for i in indices:
            print('{}\t{}'.format(i, puzzle_dict[i]))
    except KeyError as e:
        print('No such index: {}'.format(e))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if len(sys.argv) != 2:
        sys.exit('Exactly one argument with cipher key needed.')
    indices = parse_key(sys.argv[1])
    print_ordered(indices, puzzle_3)

You know I was thinking of posting a photograph of hand written text just for that reason. But thank you for posting so that others can see how you did it @hayamoto_jr

You sir are brilliant!

I didn’t win and I won’t play “who has the most expensive CPU” again.

The phrase is correct, but are you sure that mobile wallet is able to restore a Daedalus paper wallet?

33

As I read this wallet able maybe I’m wrong but I read on another crossword topic that I can use this wallet

34

i think the wallet used is different in each crossword. :slight_smile:

For my future reference… what does this script do exactly?
Sorry I am not conversant with the language.

Nothing too fancy, if you provide it with the cipher as input, it’ll print the words in order.

./decipher.py '18A 1D 4A 21A 17D 14A 17A 11D 15D 9D 8A 3D 19A 16D 22D 25A 12D 23D 6D 11A 2D 16A 13A 7A 10A 20A 5D'
18A	animal
1D	push
4A	vessel
21A	humor
17D	candy
14A	milk
17A	carry
11D	alter
15D	know
9D	festival
8A	brain
3D	remove
19A	wage
