Ah, this card...I already love to loathe it <3
Here's a very very big spoiler - can't make it more subtle since my mind just bluntly pointed me to that. Spoiler: (highlight to read) There is a sentence that keeps coming back in this card. Spot it, and work from there. Not getting anywhere ? I can add that... Spoiler: (highlight to read) For those of you cipher-curious, a frequency analysis of the letters returns pretty much...Nothing. This is presumably plain English, completely unencrypted - we just need to find out how to read the letters in the correct order. |

It's probably not related in any way whatsoever, but
Spoiler: (highlight to read) has anyone solved
It has a similar-ish feel to it. |

To follow up eratos' post and his thoughts:
Spoiler: (highlight to read) Yes I have solved the permalink/puzzle/536: Exams, but only by guessing at the anagram. However from the comments under it I think lonadar solved it using a path through the letters so I've pm'd him to see if he can give us a clue to his method

If you Google search for Trailhead Cypher it comes up with another ARG as the first result:

It's just coincidence, the start of an ARG is called a trailhead, not the actual ARG that the search gave, I don't think it will be of any help. | ||||

All I can really see is the cube in the background that may help.
I noticed that the top face had the bottom left seperated, the left face had the top left seperated and the right face had the top right seperated. The 3 sections of text we have in 7x7 squares have all got a stepped triangle that contains the phrase mentioned above and this can be removed. Is it coincidence that the steps are in the same place as the seperated sections, i.e. one bottom left of text block, one top left of text block, and one top right of text block. |

My gut feeling say it's absolutely not a coincidence. But, I've not been able to find any significance to it. |

you're right in rearranging the letters in the cubes however the actual way in which to order them is revealed by the text in the top left of the card. The sixth line in particular.
hope this helps without giving it away |

Spoiler: (highlight to read) the word backtrace should point you in the right direction. using ALL the letters in the grids, TRACE the hidden message. |

nope, not helping much - do you suggest we put all the grids on top of each other? | ||||
