Hello and Welcome @PuzzledPuzzler ,
This puzzle is fun and involves many steps mostly repeated. Puzzle #48 shows five wheels with symbols. Decode the symbols from the previous pages to spell the starting word which is DEMON
The remaining steps are the same as a previous puzzle # —9—
Somehow, we ended up moving the dials up and down to end up with EBYOI, based on the turning instructions from key 47. That doesnt unscramble… what did we miss?
Hello and welcome,
I needed to review what I did in the past. To give a clue: you have the starting word on the dials from my previous post. Now to do the same wheel rotation as puzzle #9. The key 47 reveals the direction, black and white, up and down, and the counts to move each wheel. What did you decode key 47 to be? When the correct rotations is applied the result is a five letter word to solve this puzzle. Your EBYOI is not the correct rotations.
We got the same 5 letter word, and used black for up and white for down. We got PANOLI for 47 and the same 5 letter word as you for the starting point in 48… we’ve rechecked multiple times, and keep coming out the same.
Edit - I just figured I should try the black and white in the opposite manner of explicit directions, just to see if that worked… I have no idea if that was intentional or not, but it does
