Here are a few I have tried

The last word in the phrase, forward and reversed:
vvzcj
jczvv

8404 tranlated to letters (0=a) forward and backward
ieae
eaei

And (1=a) forward and backward
hdzd
dzdh

I have been trying these on the pass phrase with every combination of forward and reverse I can think of.

I have also tried shifting each section of the message by a letter shift corresponding to the numbers, for example:

The first section, Sowehws Hipn, with an 8 shift, 0=A becomes> Kgowzok Zahf
with 1=A, it becomes Lhpxapl Abig

Not even anagram material, I don't think. Oh, well.

Okay, the hubby is looking at it now...said it's a little harder than he thought it was going to be.

But he also said the first step is not to overlook the obvious. Adding, "You've got a red string, salt, water. This doesn't have anything to do with fishing, does it?"

Mind you, he doesn't know anything about the Dr. Seuss poem...I didn't tell him that part. All he's seen is the scanned image at the beginning of this thread.

He's got something turning around in his brain, but I don't know what it is.

I wish. He hates it. Laughing

But then, I hate when he watches the SciFi Channel on Friday nights and tries to get me involved in the story by explaining it while I just stare at him with this, "I don't give a crap"" look. We're even. Wink

Following many of us discussing how much we needed more information, Maddison entered the chat.

Two distinct points were made:

1) Maddison very much liked the idea that "hurry" is the last word. She then prodded our knowledge of ciphers in order to determine whether there is a way for us to break the code with the knowledge that hurry is the last word.

2) It was discussed that many keys had been attempted. Maddison asked which keys. I responded, "saltwater, saline, ocean, references from the Seuss poem, musical references, 'Is This Thing On Check One'". Maddison suggested we try synonyms of those.

Has anyone had the chance to try it?

I've tried brine, briny, brackish, alkaline, acrid, pelagic, abyssal, tears (suggested by nowherepixie), cry, crying...

Pelagic came up with the second word being "died", but the rest was rubbish.

Maybe its not supposed to be seawater, maybe it's tears?
