I have sorta given up...... I think its time for a clue

centsless:

You're not looking for words?  I, and seemingly everyone else, are trying to garner a pithy pertinent phrase from the puzzle.

I'm not sure how you interpreted it, but what I meant to convey was "that's not the answer I'm looking for".

And the clue on this one will go by schedule - one week from post.

he likes math...and it looks like greater and lesser then signs are in there...just my thought.

I don't do these cause i have too many zombies to chase after; they eat up a lot of my time and when i say zombies i mean kids.

Both will chew on your head given the chance, right?

OK, it's almost midnight, and I can waste a guess.  Some of us are on the same track, and more guesses may let someone see the light if it's the right track, of course.

While definitely interesting, those guesses are incorrect.

Well, guys, I think it's safe to say that it's not a simple word cipher.  The only correct answer in the form of a word cipher is:

RELATED

CORRECTS

INITIALLY

SOAR

AT

ENEMIES.

Anything else that's been posted is wrong.  There are only two words the third could be (INITIALLY and UNUSUALLY), but UNUSUALLY doesn't work with the rest of the cipher.

Don't even waste your time, guys. (Unless the puzzle's wrong, then don't waste your time til it's fixed... ;)

I can assuredly say that there's nothing wrong with the puzzle. 

Well, I just took my first look at it, and I already know how it works, just have to line things up correctly... (but I should be sleeping =/ )

Edit: Well the cipher is not in the normal setup however it does work, at least it works to get the following...

RELATED CORRECTS INITIALLY SOAR AT ENEMIES

However, as discovered it's not the correct answer. So it's not JUST a simple diagrammatic cipher.

 

Appears, I'll be printing this off in the morning with my notes and take it to work on during my break at work... at least when I'm not working on KRYPTOS.

 

You've piqued my curiosity, however I'll wait till the puzzle is solved to inquire...

I'm still stumped. How did you guys even find out a code for it.

Sovet, I'm curious what you are thinking too...

Isn't today clue day?

Is it today? I been waiting for it all this time.

As I am making this post at 12:20am, the clue was technically supposed to be up yesterday.  Sorry - I went on a brief hiatus that I hadn't entirely planned on.  Anyway...

PUZZLE 4



Clue #1:  A thesaurus might come in handy for this one...

So much for a worthwhile clue..

OG: affiliated precisely firstly aspire toward villain

I have a guess to spare its pretty late.

...i think most of us already tried doing the thesaurus method...

Haha...  No to both those guesses.

Here's a freebie - keep in mind that clues are not always meant to be taken literally.

you know its difficult when you need a clue for the clue

Metaphorically speaking.

DeadheaD:

Hehe...  I just didn't want people taking the clue and running in the wrong direction.  It's a clue, not an instruction.

Um...  No...

Sadly I not only have no idea what a cypher is but I've been clueless on every single puzzle, even the ones from before I found this thread. Makes me wonder if I need to go back to middle school or elementary school.

 

hrm... sadly it's 2am so no dumb luck guesses for me today, I'll acually have to think today's though.  

EDIT:

I think that the clue is about the phase being about something being similar to something else.

I also have a nagging feeling that  this puzzle is similar to Jepordy, the tv game show.
