No worries. Everyone gets stuck. You did the first part. Now You need to select one word from each. To determine which one, you'll need to look at the idioms we solved for originally. There's something that each has that can give things...value.

After finally cracking this daytime vault and looking back, this was an amazingly elegant multi-layered puzzle, even moreso than most we've seen. Last one for Issue 2 and I'm ready for the next issue!

I'm guessing that you're overthinking it. You're also going to be looking for words, not letters. Which makes sense, since the MPC couldn't control the letters in well known idioms. Ok... I've got words that add up to 29 letters with a "bad apple" in the middle. What am I missing to get the other word? Everyone else seems to have gotten it from there without any trouble so I'm feeling a little blind. SaveSave

I think I have the idea of what I'm supposed to do, but it's not coming out correctly. Does it begin with: "If you don't find this..."?

I just got another idea and now I can't check it because I'm away from my paper!

Does the Vault accept punctuation? I'm 99% sure I have the right solution for the Day code, but I un-contracted a word and it kicked it back...

Got it, thank you k8! I actually had one of the words wrong, leaving me short 1 letter, hence my confusion as to punctuation and contractions.

I actually am not coming up with the correct number of letters. I keep coming up with 34 characters.
