Fair enough! I know rule-deduction games aren't for everyone.
That being said: Don't worry about accidentally cheating by doing a puzzle wrong. By the time you reach puzzle 12, you have enough information to deduce whether a puzzle has been correctly solved, and fix it if needed. And you'll need to do this before you can approach puzzle 12.

Big Hint: Some other words I could have used (but did not) include ["Guhzocevag", "Pubpbyngr Puvc", naq "Qvtrfgvir"].
Extremely minor nitpick with the new version (I'm planning to run it with other people, this won't stop me though ;p): there's two Ds in puzzle 12 that are interchangeable. I don't remember this happening anywhere else in the puzzles, and it's not like any rule is against that, but if that matters to you, it's there.
Ah, yes, lots of folks have had trouble there.
Hint 0: There's no need for guesswork, this one's a logic puzzle.

Thank you for the hints. However, I'm still having issue with the bottom part of the puzzle.

Anyway, it was fun, my SO joined me after I did half of it and we enjoyed it. Thanks again !
