Pro is the opposite of Con                       Kids of today are so much different
This fact can clearly be seen,                  Don't you know?
If progress means to move forward         Just ask them where they are from
Then what does congress mean?             And they tell you where you can go.  --Nipsey Russell

MORSE?

What an amazing coincidence!!! But, no, that is not the answer.

Darn, I was so sure that was the answer..

And I can see why. It amazed me that an existing word could be found by your method.

Here's a hint:

Spoiler
dayowlron's method of shifting characters one over was not exactly wrong but the way it was done (by using the alphabet) was not correct.

I updated the above hint slightly to make it a bit clearer what I meant.

BOARD?
[close]

BOOM! That's the one!

Spoiler
The hint in the original clue is the < sign and the starting three letters KEY, suggesting that the solver should go a key to the left of every letter (on a QWERTY keyboard). This gives BOARD and also makes the entire clue KEYBOARD. The fact that, if you do the same with the same letters but using the alphabet and subtracting a letter each time gives the answer MORSE blew me away and was not a clever intentional red herring.

Wow. That’s a nice puzzle. Simple but tricky. And hard to get ‘Morse’ out of your mind. It’s super amazing that Morse was possible in that way seeing as it’s the name of another type of code.

And also involves a key. The telegraph key.

Cool. I liked that puzzle. I will post a new one later.

I have attempted about 5-8 theories, but no luck yet. No hints yet please.

Ah, nice! Quite a lovely code actually.

I doubt we would have gotten it without that joke about Putin.

Stupot

Nice one. I still don’t get the Putin reference though :-(
