another day, another good puzzle!

Already have this game, just wanted to thank for the nice Hex \ ASCII puzzle and for your GAs :)

Already have the game, but thanks for the fun puzzles :)

nice puzzle, thanks :)

Nice puzzle, thank you for it (again)! :)

Ok, yeah, if someone didn't mention a red herring in the thread I wouldn't have been able to figure out what I was doing wrong... ^_^'
Thank you for the puzzles. :)

Thanks for another puzzle and GA!

thanks
btw red herring was "a", i dont know how "a" closer than other words but...

This one was pretty easy.

Well I figured it out by deleting one of the chars at a time. At some point I was searching for apricot on the forums (only 1 result!).

These puzzles keep getting better right? I'm not imagining that am I?

Have it already - still, nice puzzle!

I don’t know how others easily understood which solution, for me the final combination is not obvious.
Before that, I tried to iterate over 2 ^ 5 = 32 combinations (of each sequence) of the register in the order of succession, in reverse order, at the rare meeting of characters in the columns, in the reverse order of the meeting of characters in the columns, tried to replace V with 5, tried to make a word of 5 characters in Cyrillic, tried to substitute combinations in imgur.com, YouTube, instagram. Once steamgifts banned me for suspicious activity for several hours. And the solution was obtained conditionally by chance Pn = n! I generated P5 = 5! = 120 combinations on the online service and 119 combinations turned out to be a winning one. It's good that I didn't give up. I hope the creator of the puzzle will explain the exact logical way to solve it.
Thanks for attention.

First I got 6 characters, but finally managed to decipher the hex text without overcomplicating it and then I got only 5 characters. I have the game, but thanks for the puzzle!

Praise the Lord & pass the ammo, I finally arrived. ^_^

that wink threw me off for days ; -

Somehow got this one, although the version of the poem I had at first had more differences which made it confusing. There's a weird case where there's two a's that say they don't match which is what is leading many of us to six characters. I assumed that either the _ was the odd thing or the matching a's. that gave me two things to try and now I got here.

Hello! :)
I'm not sure I've solved it the right way. After trying 5 Latin characters which didn't work I've realized that the underscore meant the missing 'a' from 'ja', and thought "what if I move that Latin 'a' from where it was found in the text to the underscore position", and it worked. :) Was that how I'm supposed to figure it out?

Great giveaway, btw, thank you!

Finally solved it.
I'm missing something though.
I mean, by decoding the hex with unicode (used rapidtables.com) and then comparing it with the original poem here, I get _, k, a, p, n, v as different characters, in the order.
I've seen the poll and the hint about /, that I assumed referred to the underscore, so I expected the solution to be vnpak/. Why is it vnpka/ instead?
I don't get it. What is wrong with my logic?

(I got here just thinking: "well, the underscore is at last place and it is replacing a cyrillic "а", maybe the latin "a" goes last; it worked just by coincidence)

Edit: I've read the other comments. I see I was supposed to get only 5 characters, not 6. Should look for better tools next time.

Thank you so much! Key worked! :)
