The key to the cyfer is:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
WOTNYMLSRKJIZQHGFUPXVEDCBA


There's a weird sort of pattern in there, or is that my ARG-deprivation fooling me? Smile

Somehow, I think the website is something like
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.metacortechs.com/mumowmow/urchinmindswanttoknow


but it's not that exactly. Unfortunately, I don't have time to help at all.

Just a thought.

Just a nice thing that I noticed about the cipher alphabet.... if you write it this way, with the plaintext alphabet in order:

Code:
ZYXWVQPOLKJGFDBSNIHCRUATEM
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz


Then you can see the keyword they have used.... start from the right and work backwards.

SNIHCRUATEM
METAURCHINS

Nice touch! Wasn't sure if this had been picked up already. Very Happy
