Made it through the first 9 levels with only a little stumbling (as the author has indicated, there are plenty of little hints).

Level 10 has got me quite stuck though! I think I have an idea what needs to be done, but I'm stuck on trial and error with the exact details.

That said, there's something deliberate that I know is a hint and doesn't figure into my thinking... I don't yet know what it means.

Frustrating, but fun :).

10 was difficult in a different way than the prior puzzles, and honestly was a little chilling once I figured it out. Good luck, I'm sure you can get it!
Does it involve sending an email?

Edit: oh, hah. Got it. I somehow missed trying the right thing. I had gotten very close before, I just needed to add in the other hint.

Thank you, I suspected that was the case. Still trying to figure out the right address. Not sure if the hidden clue is a red herring.
