This is where Harry and Jodie will post official hints for Challenge 9A. You can try posting your own if you like, but try to make them interesting. Solutions or complete answers are not so much fun. We reserve the right not to post anything that we think gives too much away, but you won’t be in trouble for posting here. (Anywhere else though and watch out! The Elves will find you!)

[Hi! Having fun? Harry]
8th December 2023 at 12:59 pm #9251310_F0X35ParticipantCan we have a hint about ciphers that have been featured on the NCC before or does that give too much away?
[This sounds like a question for madness. Harry]
8th December 2023 at 1:39 pm #92550LeepOfFaithParticipantHelp us please Harry can you give us a hint?
[Have posted a couple already. More to follow over the weekend! Have fun, Harry]
8th December 2023 at 1:39 pm #92551OhIDontThinkSoParticipantHi! Check out the tips for 9A. New cipher for this year!
8th December 2023 at 11:23 pm #92579CodeKittenParticipantThe puns in the well done message are truly hilarious
[Hope you didn’t mind me fixing the spelling for you. Harry]
9th December 2023 at 8:56 pm #92521Loa7erParticipantI think this one is a huge apex to overcome.
9th December 2023 at 8:56 pm #92523CipherUndergroundParticipantHi Harry, having lots of fun! This challenge made us feel a bit like Sisyphus but we got there in the end. 🙂
9th December 2023 at 8:56 pm #92555Michael_A-AParticipantThis didn’t have quite as many ups and downs as I had initially assumed it would…
9th December 2023 at 8:57 pm #92568I_am_SidParticipantHard work going up! Any chance 9A contains a clue for 9B????
10th December 2023 at 7:25 pm #92570AinzParticipantwhich previous years has this cipher appeared in, if you would like to not be specific then can we at least have a range
10th December 2023 at 7:25 pm #92569solitaireParticipantis it something related to a grid?
10th December 2023 at 7:25 pm #92563RincewindParticipantThere seems to be something very… comedic about the combination of encipherer and cipher for this challenge.
11th December 2023 at 2:16 pm #92560frazza238ParticipantFor the type of cipher, look at the title. What can you go up and down on.
11th December 2023 at 2:16 pm #92614BobDParticipantHow many others thought that “Ups and downs” was indicating a Railfence cipher? Wrong!!
