Let’s test first word danlwd — if we shift each letter one key on QWERTY: d→s, a→ doesn't have left? a’s left is caps lock — fails. Shift right: d→f, a→s, n→m, l→k, w→e, d→f → fsmkef — no. Step 5 — Try reversing words and applying ROT13 Reverse string: myqstm knyl ab mtsr nkhs rtl yfwdlnad — looks less likely. Given the time constraints, the most probable intended encoding here is Atbash — let me double-check quickly with a known example:

Try ROT3 (Caesar +3): d→g, a→d, n→q, l→o, w→z, d→g → gdqozg — no. Test lynk with ROT? If lynk → link : l(12) to l(12) = shift 0? No. l(12) to l(12) means no shift — so maybe lynk is already link ? Actually lynk would be link only if y→i (shift 8), n→n (0) — inconsistent.

This string — "danlwd fyltr shkn rstm ba lynk mstqym" — appears to be an .

return results encoded = "danlwd fyltr shkn rstm ba lynk mstqym" decodings = decode_obfuscated_phrase(encoded)

ROT13: d (4) → q (17) a (1) → n (14) n (14) → a (1) l (12) → y (25) w (23) → j (10) d (4) → q (17) → qnayjq — not English.

Atbash map: a b c d e f g h i j k l m z y x w v u t s r q p o n

Test mstqym → direct : m→d = shift -9 (or +17), s→i = shift -10 — inconsistent.

# Caesar shift brute force (0-25) caesar_results = {} for shift in range(26): shifted = "".join( chr((ord(c) - ord('a') + shift) % 26 + ord('a')) if c.isalpha() else c for c in encoded ) caesar_results[shift] = shifted results["Caesar_bruteforce"] = caesar_results
