  • $\begingroup$ You know what Lanny, that was a word I was considering too, but couldn't suss why the first part would be 'AF' (or longer). There's a phrase in Britain, rot13(Purnc nf puvcf) which means the same as this word, but I don't know what the vowels mean on the packet... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I think 'backwards' might refer to reversing the order of hint 1 - each corresponds exactly in order that way... EDIT: Also wonder whether the vowels just represent the ones to use with common consonants in the whole phrase...? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks, @Stiv. Yes, I am sure you are right about "backwards". I revised the answer to include that. I was not familiar with the British phrase, but it sounds like it might be completely relevant. Thanks. $\endgroup$
