I just have to say, @CG_SBCrumb and @CG_EVS_469 , this word search bit is awesome. I still don't really know why we're doing it or where it's going to lead, but it's something that the whole crew can participate in. The community thinking-through is fun, but this is another level of community fun.

Great job, guys!
Agreed! I know nothing about ciphers, but this is so cool being on a word search doc with 50 other people right now!
So in regards to the simplest splits if you split the alphabet in half that is a simple split that might be overlooked.. the even simpler split would be A Banana split?
Hey guys - just to let y'all know. Probably unsurprisingly, I've been lurking in the Discord, and I saw you guys find a name that I hadn't intentionally hidden (HUNN). It's not canon, and it looks like Wookieepedia isn't certain of the spelling (HUNN vs HUUN), but either way it's not intended to be a name to be found. So... there's that.
While the "poem" seems pretty nonsense, I don't think it's just a cipher text so that you can directly decipher it in the current order of letters. It definitely looks like one big anagram (or 5 smaller anagrams) to me. By no chiffre you would get a cipher text consisting of more or less correct English words.
So, while I would assume that you indeed have to decipher the letters of the poem (using a Bacon chiffre?, unless SB_Crumb meant he wanted more Porg instead of more porc...) , I would also assume that you still have to find an anagram of the "clear" text.
For the scoundrels4life part, I am a bit astonished that it contains one letter twice (the "S"). That would be unusual for a chiffre keyword, right?
So, maybe "scoundrels4life" is the password ("pwd") we need to access whatever the anagram is pointing at, assuming that they actually tried to include SOME hints when creating the anagram.
OK, seems the community is actually 2 steps ahead on reddit or Discord. xD

Already solved the Bacon cipher, got an email address for a forum login, and scoundrels4life was the password.

Great job, guys!
Trying to get a tally right now.

edit: add k->o, K->c
have another one in 7N. It should be a T, but don't know what letter it is in the sheet "i" or "L"
It's a small L.
I found y, D, l, o, l, o, y, k, K, e.
Great job getting this far! Keep on going!

Grievous rework confirmed.
You’re welcome. Wasn’t that hard really.
