Hi. Well done on your successful guess.

Try out these two ciphers from Carroll - I'm sure that you'll be able to do it. https://lewiscarrollresources.net/ciphers/alphabet.html or https://lewiscarrollresources.net/ciphers/telegraph.html

I really like your 404 idea - It's almost as good as the real reason. As the deadline was approaching ( and I felt that no-one would get it) - especially the second part. I decided to write out the whole shebang about L.C. being a cryptographer. That seemed avgood enough reason for the puzzle to be on SN!

The chancellor thing really was an accidental find. I stumbled upon it when I read about his ciphers - and I felt it was far too good not to include...

Really well done Monsieur! Hope you enjoy his ciphers too 🧐
