The dithyrambic sorcerer Roseacrucis has encrypted the

- Given the ransom price of one new line in the same meter as today&rsquo;s secret
- line, for each word, Roseacrucis will reveal which letters are in the right place 🟩, in the word but in the wrong
- place 🟨, or not in the word at all ⬜.

+ Given the ransom price of one new line of poetry in the same meter

+ the wrong place 🟨, or not in the word at all ⬜.
+ Accents and punctuation are ignored.
<p>
Each word is annotated with the number of required syllables and their stress marks. For example,
<span class="scansion">&times;&sol;</span> indicates that the word has two syllables, the first unstressed and the second
stressed (such as in <em>por-TRAY</em>).
</p>
+ <p>
+ Each guess must be a reasonable and sensible line of poetry, but
+ creativity and poetic license are encouraged.
