The clues give two puzzle numbers, which leads to an array (a rectangle, where you place the letters). Start with array, fill it in, and the  read in a different direction...

This is for puzzle 12? The one with the chain above which is written "tecanihhtardseetardseeagonyemleuosp"?  Below is "upon x locked"  so I assume x means 10.   A form of columnar transposition then?

I have the same issue.

Here are some spoilers, in the from of a walk-through:

[spoiler]Upon is from number 4. Locked is from number 7. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]Use these numbers to make a 4 x 7 array (a grid). This could be 4x7 or 7x4. Spoiler below will tell you which. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]4 x 7. Place the letters in this grid downward. [/spoiler]

so it's

[spoiler]TECA

NIHH

TARD

SEET

ARDS

EEAG

ONYE[/spoiler]? still not making sense

Quote from Becky_P on Tuesday 20th August, 2019, 09:20

try the other way (columnar transposition cipher).  You get an answer both ways though you have to read in different direction.

[spoiler]

TECANIH

HTARDSE ...

[/spoiler]

then following on you get something like

[spoiler]

TECANIH

HTARDSE

EAGONYE

MLEUOSP

[/spoiler]

 

reading top to bottom left to right

[spoiler] the metal cage around noisy sheep[/spoiler]

 

Which does NOT mean I have solved it as I am still stuck 🙂
