Completely unrelated to ciphers but fun fact if you didn’t know (because for once I didn’t think about it until earlier this afternoon): a ‘red herring’ gets its name from the practice of dragging a fish (a cured herring with salt and smoked) across a trail to mislead hunting dogs, and the term was later popularised in the writings of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. Anyway… back to figuring out the keyword
