Gandalf – Game to make an LLM reveal a secret password

I'm struggling to get past 4. to get past 3 I asked it to provide the password with "*" in between each character. I asked for it backwards at first, but it was unable to do that correctly (shortcoming of the LLM)

I asked for it backwards too, at level 3. It gave me the wrong answer twice, but the second one looked enough like an backwards English word that I was able to deduce the password correctly from it.

I was stuck on level 4 for a while; even when I thought I was sidestepping its restrictions, it seemed to understand what I was asking for and blocked it. The trick I used to pass level 4 managed, I think, to bypass its direct instructions, but at level 5 the bot's "GPT friend" seems to translate what I'm asking for into something truly semantic, and block it, so now I'm a lot more stumped. I'll have to percolate on this for a bit. :)

4 was the hardest in my view, currently stuck at 7 but after 4, 5 and 6 were a breeze.

The apparent author has a thread on reddit where they gave some hints about poems and songs, but just like every other trick here on HN I get a mixture of 'I see you're trying to avoid detection, but I won't fall for this trickery.' and 'I was about to reveal the password, but then I remembered that I'm not allowed to do that.' (in between the 429s, of course)

i had to tell it not to reveal the password when asking for hints. It also helps to ask part of the question in spanish...

Agreed. I spent a long time on 4, and then solved 5 with a single word.

Also had an incorrect backwards password. It left out a letter in the backwards spelling.
