Thanks to all the folks who provided hints to the word search. I am 99% certain I wouldn't have gotten there this year without everyone's help!

Question about the day vault. I want to use a Caesar shift 6 cipher on the V3Issue1 word search. The first letters of the crossword from left to right are zxm. Doing a Caesar shift 6 on them turns them into trg. Am I doing it right? Thanks! Are you using only the letters that remain after you find all of the words in the word search? I'm missing a step somewhere and I'm just stuck... Can you help me?

Distantsmoke:
shift the entire puzzle. I don't remember what the first three letters are, but the last five letters in the last row should be BILBO once it's shifted. Hope that helps. Jessi: See Distantsmoke's answer... shift the whole puzzle.

Jessi: See Distantsmoke's answer... shift the whole puzzle. I've done that, and I see several words both backwards and forwards that are on the list in the vault clue. That's where I'm stuck. I used all of the letters leftover from the word search.

I used all of the letters leftover from the word search. So you've shifted the whole puzzle and you've found all of the words in the second list of words . What you need to do now is have a look at what letters remain after crossing out both the letters you've just used from the second word list AND the letters you use from the first word list. It helps to overlay . Hope that helps.

Am I supposed to cross out the letters from the original puzzle or the shifted one?

Thank you for creating a thread for this lock. I took the liberty of moving a bunch of pertinent posts to that puzzle into it. I hope it helps. Keeping these posts organized will help us all in the long run. This lock needed its own thread.
Let us know if you still need a nudge or two.

Anyone have any ideas what to do with the list of words given in the lock result box? Carola, Be sure to look at the symbols beneath the lock on the dayside vault. They help you figure out what puzzles to use when finding the answer. And feel free to PM if you need more nudging.

I am having a problem with the left over letters. I have way more needed. I have removed the word search words and the 8 words in the lock. I have noticed some saying there are more than 8 words. How can I get the others to appear in the list on the lock.

How can I get the others to appear in the list on the lock. It depends on how you are viewing the lock (computer, tablet, phone, etc). Arrow keys or the mouse scroll wheel should work. I did a click and drag to select all the words in the list. Let me know if you can't work it out and I'll see if I have the complete list somewhere. Unfortunately, once you open the lock you no longer have access to the list.

Thank you Tod. I feel sooo sheepish. I never thought about scrolling the list.
