Re: == 2024 Bitcoin halving tribute puzzle - Challenge to win 10,000,000 sats! ==
Great, you noticed that the ciphertext is split into 12 lines of 6 letters each, but that's just a misdirection to make you think that the 6 letters in each line correspond to exactly one seed word.
No, in fact, these letters contain more information, and as we all know, to record the BIP39 seed phrases, it's enough to record the first 4 letters of each seed word, so we have room to cram in more information that is necessary to perform substitution encryption.
It's not really hard to derive backwards, the point is to understand the process of going forwards.
Happy hunting

Interesting! A few blocks before the halving, and I was thinking of grabbing a snack, chilling and watching the countdown. But, let's solve a puzzle!
I have never solved a "reverse deduction puzzle" or even "cipher problem", so I'm already in a disadvantageous position. I can see from the short ciphertext that each cipher-word is 6-letter long, which must be important. I've been looking the card combinations for quite a lot of time, though. No ideas.
