What is up with this box?

Wild Guess

The ellipses would make logical sense of the puzzle, but I don't think you can enter more than one character per box. The 2 just means that the same mystery shows up twice. Perhaps a semicolon? (Although I believe Puffer has already tried that.)

Ok so I was able to go back to that cryptogram using the url from my screenshot.

I fixed the typo and..IT ACCEPTED IT.

whoa!

that's just too wild--so, you have an almost twelve-hour solve!

amazing!

Congrats on finishing that quote. Did the boxes end up not needing anything in them???

[Lurker]

So, did that count on your percentages as solving it the first time as a retry, or as a new puzzle? And I'm very happy that it's solvable.

Thanks for catching this - I've fixed the quote so that those empty boxes won't show up anymore. The issue was that the quote had em-dashes (—) instead of regular dashes (-) and the system didn't recognize them as punctuation.

Those boxes didn't need filled. It probably did count for percentage, but I won't stress over it.

Glad I could help!
