Got it! This was a lot of fun @cryptokas!
The answer to the riddle is:
let's steem on!

Is this the answer?:

PGLDOZMCFGBIRG with secret salt: 695435647

Alpha

Not good at these things

Nice try! but incorrect :-(

Thanks for the fun game and I'll try next time. Good luck to everyone else.

don't give up! you can have more entries! just don't edit your comments ;-)

Do not tell if the answer is correct or not until the final count down begins.

Its WordFind with greek letters. There is whole greek alphabet excluding xi. After you strike every greek letters, following letters will survive:

H C P G L D O Z M C F G B I R G

But it is encoded some way and I dont know how. PS: Caesar dont work

lol, I got as far before quitting XD

Uhm I also figured out the greek alphabet and striked out all words, but came to this:

PGLDOZMCFGBIRG

Mine is significantly shorter and I'm quite sure there is no H left in it, so your's is probably wrong. Mine doesn't work either, so there must be something with this I'm doing wrong.. :(

Lambda.

Hahaha... I've got nothing. I'm not good at these :P

The answer is Omega

Hey @cryptokas! Thanks for the fun contest! I spent some time working on this tonight and made a little progress. I'll have to pick it up again sometime tomorrow if it hasn't been solved, yet. I'll also resteem the post tomorrow to hopefully get some more views and participants.

Thanks Misko!

Moto Mate it's my answer. 😊

I wish I was smart enough to give you the right answer. Good luck to the ones who try to calculate the correct answer.. :)

You don't have to calculate... don't be a monkey!

Gamma

Alpha and Omega

My second guess: Omega.
At least this have some connection with the animal world unlike the word "Lambda" which I guessed first.

Hi mate, welcome to the "crazy cryptokas riddle"! BTW I like your juice :-)

I don't get it. Am I supposed to look for a word, or do I have to use some program to decrypt stuff?
