@jackshd said: @Largoat don’t overthink its a really easy challenge
I know that when I get it I’ll think it’s easy. I’ve tried everything I can think of that might class as easy. As soon as I start getting too complex I stop and start again. My brain just doesn’t seem to be able to see the solution.

Mannnnn this is driving me nuts. I’ve got possible sentences from rearranging but nothing works as an entry. Any advice other than “use a pen” and “its in the file name” …? Much appreciated!
Simple is better.
I think the reason the hints are like that, is because any extra bit of info might already be a spoiler. Keep it simple, focus on what info you already have (filename), and you’ll see that you can do it.
Thanks fingeron, got stuck on it and all it took was some good advice and positive thinking!
Can someone PM me to help me with this one? I feel very confident I got it within about 5 minutes. I ended up with a short pass-sentence. But every permutation I try with the flag, exclamation point, no exclamation point, caps, lower case, doesn’t seem to work and I’m at a loss.

Make sure you append the exclamation mark to the flag.
No tools are necessary. Once you understand the concept, it’s a matter of 5-6 lines of code to efficiently solve this challenge.

I did use all characters, but the easy out thing is not working, any advice by pm? There is a trick here?
It’s really easy, do not overthink. You only need pen, paper and the name of the challenge, nothing more.
I employed several hour to get the flag because i spent a lot of time overthinking, now that I solved it I feel dumb
It’s an easy challenge but overthinking it makes it complicated for no reason. Anyone struggling feel free to pm. The filename is your friend… You just have to listen to it…
Jcryptool is pretty useful to automate manual work in some cases. Glad to work on these bite sized challenges and read though the forums to learn new stuff. Thanks everyone
I am 100% sure I have it but it is not accepting it somehow. I typed it with uppercase and still not working… should I include the symbol or without it? well I actually tried both ahhahaha it makes me go crazy.
I know it’s already sad that this is just a scramble problem, but how would I systematically come to this conclusion?
And after that, what would be a systematic way of solving a multi word anagram without natural language processing?
