How about "gamem8ker" or "gamemaker"?

That's been done too, as has knowledge and revelation (even if it is ten letters).

What if the calendar on the right blocks certain letters to form a message?

.. ok so im pretty sure i read someone saying something about how the word 'star' was the only word not covored up by somehting at all in ''all star game' so wut if u made a star in the cryptic letter box thingy and like the letters in or around it forms a word.? kinda out there but figured i would jus say it

If we assign number values to the letters A-Z 1-26, could we find a solution to it if it was a matrix?

Solving as a Matrix

If it was a polyalphabetic substitution cipher (like a vigenere square), then the letter frequencies for the entire dquare wouldn't matter as these are masked by the cipher, and the columns aren't long enough to be conclusive.

The fact that the text can't be read normally means it isn't plain english.

It could be a keyword cipher where certain letters remain unchanged, but that's not proving fruitful.

Like it was said at the beginning of this thread. The vigenere line was taking because it is a 9x9 square, raising suspicion it was a vigenere square with keyword length 9.

Didn't see the point in following the same line as everyone else.

If it was JUST a word search, it would have been solved by now.

Bonusuk- Since you seem to know a little about cryptography (or at least have some software) the ACA page lists some autokeys in deciphering Vigenere, Variant or Beaufort codes. I can't make sense on how to apply it here. Any ideas?

There's a list of words in the long post about this challange. Give me a sec to find the link and you can have at it.

Here's the link

It's about half way down the page.

Tymais, "I've thrown the word search into a Boggle/Tangleword solver. I limited the size of each word to a minimum of 4 letters."
