Correct!!
You decoded the message!
I long for our Meeting at Night.
Meeting at Night, Parting at Morning …
Well, the meeting we like. The parting … not so much.
Twelve is indeed a very special number but Vincent worries it's guessable.
He's mentioned April 12 who knows how many times. It's on everyone's calendar.
Don't plan anything that requires his presence on that day, he's announced.
He's busy this year, next year, and all the years after that.
So … a code word cipher! Of course.
Now a code word cipher is just a little trickier than the last one,
but you start the same way.
First you write out the alphabet on your true line.
Then you choose a code word, one without repeated letters.
Lets try … POETRY.
On the code line, the chosen word is written in first.
Then the rest of the alphabet fills in the line.
The letters of the code word are not used again.
(You'll skip P, O, E, T, R and Y when you come to them.)
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
P O E T R Y A B C D F G H I J K L M N Q S U V W X Z
Using this code word, EPQBRMCIR would translate to CATHERINE
Much more difficult for the curious to try to break.
:-)
Vincent mulls the possibilities.
There are so many words special between the two of them.
Always. Everything. Tell Me.
But one comes to him and a smile inches across his face.
What code word did he choose? Can you guess?
What do these two illustrations have in common? .
(Here's a helping hint: the word has 7 letters.)
Do you have it figured out?
(If you're truly at a loss, there's a hint at the bottom of the page.)
Write that word in first. Then fill in the rest, careful not to repeat letters.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Here's your final message to decipher.
A significant phrase will match a story title in the sidebar.
There you'll find a surprise and your link out to the next challenge!
IX HENO, IX DOBQS. SDO KJHX YENS.
