So, Being honest, i tried to compare.
I mean, lorem ipsum is random generated, so we can't really compare to an specific lorem ipsum.
But i tried line by line, got 5 letters but they aren't working :(

using https://loremipsum.io/generator/ i was able to only find 3 symbols (the obvious number 6, and two letters) that don't normally appear in these latin words. i also found one word that doesn't appear at all, no matter how many random generations i check. i don't know if that's some kind of hint or if it's just a quirk of this generator. it is a correctly spelled latin word so.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's really hard to tell if something is misspelled due to it being gibberish. I'd imagine et could be est in "context", but they're both Latin. Perhaps that's what mysterious clue #2 is.

The missing words are found in other generated texts, so I bet that's just a mismatch of sources.

I compared, but other than the first sentence it was not the lorem ipsum we know about:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

Okay, so I've got 4 chars which are "typos" in the random lorem ipsum words. Since the first one I found is probably part of the code, I guess I'm one char away. Without the last character placement I can't brute force the last.

There's a missing character at the end of one word.

I feel like I found the typos but I'm not sure if replacing needs to be done or rearranging the order or capitalization is needed

I've brute forced the 5th place, and all I found was a 3 year old GA.

I'm guessing you have my missing letter in last place.

The numeral isn't arabic-to-roman in order, but since you have 5 chars I'll try to find the last one too.

Hint 2: I've edited one word in order to show the path to the true believers.

Edited it a while back but only hinting at it now. And yes you can work together but only inside this thread with random people who are already here, no inviting friends to help out.

As NB264 has said above, we can help each other in this thread.

Now, I don't know what I should be doing exactly, but we need to use the text in his previous giveaway:
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/wIPar/plankton

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

I am going to give all the information I have, so we can all help each other: I have found three incorrect words: v6lit (it should be velit), Vjvamus (it should be Vivamus) and molestid (it should be molestie). So, 6-j-d

There is also a word that never appears in all my search, it's efficitur, meaning, result.

That's all I have

Well, I am glad. Usually I never undertand how people managed to surpass puzzles.

Since NB264 authorized, another hint, I hope it's not too much: Besides the examples I gave, is there any other word that looks like it shouldn't be there?

Well, you know first two, he told you another letter that goes somewhere and the last one is a number. Shouldn't be that hard anymore.

Anyway off to sleep, no more hints from me but there's a secret rule people who solve the puzzle will read, like quijote3000 did, so...

In hint 5 you have 6 j - - #
Quijote3000 said 6jd and NB264 said the other letter goes somewhere.

There are not many possibilities for the missing word but it exists in latin and is included in lorem ipsum generator.
My hint you can read it in a correction to the hint that led me to the "wrong" word.

those are the exact same 3 that i found. everything else appears to be correctly spelled latin words though. the only other odd thing that catches my eye is 'eg-est-as' is usually spelled without the dashes.

It's a "cooperative-but-every-person-for-themselves" fest! I love it! It reminds me in a way of the Touhou Spring 2018(?) event, where teamoing up was allowed and PsychoApeMan, CrazyGuacamolee and someone else (Jpdefo?) (the discord name has since changed and my memory is shot) teamed up in discord to figure it out. Fun times!

It's better to share progress than to let anyone pop in and get the answer, but I'm sure the early solvers have had quite more satisfaction.

Hint 4: The first character is that clearly visible number. They are in order. The last one has been hinted at several times in my previous messages and is clearly different than all the other words.

ceterum censeo the last character from-that-edited-word is not a letter; only 2 to go but anything else in between, I have no clue.

Actually the letters that aren't in any word are k, w, y and z. The letter i think you mean appears in two words: the "misspelled" one and another one also included in NB264 paragraph.
I don't think you mean j which isn't much of a hint, because it's been said multiple times but i've only seen it in just one word, but the letter i think we are both talking about appears in two.

PUZZLE ?

Comment has been collapsed.

I got the following words:

  • v6lit -> 6
  • Vjvamus -> j
  • (maybe:) molestid -> d?
  • (maybe:) efficitur -> ?
  • Interestingly, I couldn't find a single Lorem Ipsum with the word "maximus" in it. But I guess that "maximus" has to be correct, since it's a normal latin word.
  • Also interestingly, the normal Lorem Ipsum contains the word "egestas", whereas the text above ends with "eg-est-as". I wonder if the dashes were added on purpose to signal some number according to Hint 5?
