You are almost correct: the word is right, the letter order is not  :smiley:

Hehehe Stu did all the heavy lifting, I just closed the back gate on the truck when he was done, so over to you, Stu, if you have one. If not I can come up with something.

Mandle

I think Stu is probably a bit busy these days with the new baby so I will duck in with a new puzzle.

Does anyone want a hidden hint? Or are people working on theories on their own?

I just would like to know if it is an actual 5 letter word or just a random set of 5 letters.

Read every 2, 3, 4 or 5 letters nope.

From the beginning -  Letter immediately after: AUIEAPJFINGSFTF...
From the beginning -  Letter immediately before: YSGCYNHDGLEQDRD...

From the beginning -  change 2 letters after: BVJFBQK
From the beginning - change 2 letters before: XRFBXMGC

After number "2" â€" change 2 letters after: CVYACKOMR
After number "2" - change 2 letters before: YRUWYGKINKJNASCLQTM

Chemical elements nope.

Place in the alphabet from the beginning: 26-20-8-4-26-15...

ISO country names â€" unlikely with the numbers

Acronyms nope

------

We can split the message in 5 groups of letters between the numbers:
ZTHDZOIEHMFRESEWSLT  2
ATWYAIMKPMLPCUENSVOQEWDREXGKVAC  5
WTEHNFNSNJRQMAOSUW  3
TQWBFNV NSJSGACAZVVHFROZENXMYET  5
WRSGDFQ

Number of letters: 19-31-18-30-7
With their position in the alphabet: S  E  R  D  G > the only 5 letter word is "DREGS".

-----
There are 2 spaces in the original message. If we split each group:
ZTHDZOIEHMFRESEWSLT  2  ATWYAIMKPMLPCUENSVO
19                                            2                             19               

QEWDREXGKVAC  5  WTEHNFNSNJRQMAOSUW  3  TQWBFNV
12                           5                    18                   3                   7

NSJSGACAZVVHFROZENXMYET  5  WRSGDFQ
23                                5                7

Which gives us nothing:
(A=1)   S B S L E R C G W E G
(A=1, A=27)   S B S L E R C G W E G
(A=26..01)   H 2 H O 5 I 3 7 D 5 7
(A=01)   S 2 S L 5 R 3 7 W 5 7
(A=0)   T C T M F S D H X F H
(A=0, A=26)   T C T M F S D H X F H
(A=26..1)   H Y H O V I X T D V T

-------------

Letters matching the numbers in the alphabet:
2535: BECE

If we add "2" instead of "Frozen" because "Frozen 2" is just out:
25325:
- position in the alphabet: BECBE > no word with these 5 letters.
- position in the alphabet starting from the end:  YVXYV > no word with these 5 letters.
- letters looking similar: ZSEZS.

Letters away after the number: TNWMD
2 letters after "2">T
5 letters after "5">N
3>W
2 letters after "FROZEN" > M
5>D

Letter away before the number: LGSVX
2 letters before "2">L
5>G
3>S
2 letters before "FROZEN">V
5>X

----------

What else do you want me to try, Mandle? A letter substitution?

Creamy, I am certain your post will lead someone (or yourself) in the right direction, so you didn't waste your time.  :)

It's been so long since I have played it, but is there some connection to the four notes of a LOOM spell?

No, there are no references to anything outside the initial post.

Stupot

No idea but is it some kind of Dingbats style clue?

Like it's the word FROZEN in a big string of letters and numbers so...

BICEP

As it is the word ICE (frozen) in a bunch of string (muscle is basically made up of fibres, which is kind of like string -- I'm not a biologist)
[close]
I'm pretty sure it's not that, but is it that kind of puzzle?

Mandle

Yes, Stu, you are right!!!

You are not a biologist... and the rest of your theory is also completely off track.

Mandle

If anyone wants a hint just unhide Creamys post above... There is a huge one in there...

Ben X

Oh wait, is it partly to do with
Spoiler
words that are hidden to the left of each number, that number of letters away? So FROZEN is 5 letters to the left of 5. The others would be SEWS REX MAO (or RESEWS/DREX?) in that case...
