Clue #1: Play the game with Kings and Queens and don’t forget to give them a little space (as can be seen in the cryptogram itself).
Clue #2: Start your decoder in the bottom left corner, then follow from left to right to find your order. But don’t forget to leave spaces where they matter, using the above cryptogram as a pattern.
Clue #3: Half of the board will hold all of our letters; what’s left but to mirror the pattern, then think eclipse and in the end it’ll matter.
Clue #4: Eager to know the title? Use the previous clues to fill the board, then play the cryptogram to spell the answer you’ve been looking for.
