$\begingroup$ Welcome to Puzzling! We usually don't encourage posting this many hints to start. Puzzles are supposed to be solvable without any hints. If you feel the hints are needed, just put them as part of the puzzle itself. $\endgroup$bobble– bobble ♦2020-12-16 15:41:31 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 15:41

$\begingroup$ Ah, whoops. I will keep that in mind and edit hints into the question in the future. The cipher is certainly solvable without the hints, and in fact I did provide a few subtle hints in the preface text. The numbered hints at the bottom are just there to help you get on track with the right thought process for solving, if you are lost. $\endgroup$ExecutionByFork– ExecutionByFork2020-12-16 18:02:16 +00:00Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 18:02

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. logical-deduction), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
