I go to a certain website where the owner decided to put some 'secrets' in order for us to have fun (in truth these secrets make people go insane trying to find them).

So, if anyone might want to help me with a small riddle I'd appreciate it...

I pretty much got some of it right. It's a sort of anagram. It started with this:
Egdelwony kd mnoyes br iedrn oh acut sur.
Bedrl oaiceps a ns idneiry fw meit
vsuu moe,yd mnio ft tur. Behto oe nkit lerces a
ma I,draobdraf cd olrow a nd ietaluspacne

so I reversed it and got this-
encapsulatei dn a worl o dc fardboard ,
I am a secrel tikn eo otheB
.rut tf oinm dy ,eom uusv tiem wf ryiendi
sn a speciao lrdeB .
rus tuca ho nrdei rb seyonm dk ynowledgE.

then I did a little bit of rearranging and got this-
Encapsulated in a world of cardboard ,
I am a secret like no other.
But if im to end ,you must view my friend
in a special order.
But such an order is beyond my knowledge.

But this leads to nothing it seems. I'm also sure I didn't do it correctly and that I got some words wrong, especially the 'if im to end' part.

so, anyone feeling bored and wants to help?

It's "But to find me, you must view my friends...".

What does cardboard have to do with this?
I forgot my sig.

I think you solved the riddle by constructing that sentence.
Special order...you pretty much did just that, didn't you?
That's it. There's nothing else!  


Btw, there's a mistake in the sentence. I'm sure you pasted it, so it must be on that page.
Here:

tiem wf ryiendi

Using the letter-switching method that would give:
view mr fyiends

It skips a letter there.

thank you for your help. I knew I got that bit wrong so thank you Michal.

But, I'm rather confused at this riddle. You say there's nothing else but that seems impossible because this riddle needs to lead to something else (the way it works on the site is that you should automatically get rewarded if you solved a riddle correctly) so, I'm assuming this is just part of a bigger puzzle...something about the 'cardboard' bit and the friend/s that needs to be rearranged...

now I assumed that 'cardboard' meant the forums, since the forums page has another puzzle (but it's not an anagram I think. It just says:' duel grim l6' and there's a question mark). So I'm a bit lost about what it might mean...

now 'cardboard' can also mean two other things- the cards section (it isn't there though, that place has different riddles) and the fan-fiction section (it's done like a library).

So...I'll go and try to figure this out. Thanks for all your help once again!

If you are talking about the riddle on MNI 'Duel Grim L6' has nothing to do with it.  This is secret 15.  Still unfinished yet so you can't figure it out just thought I would tell you!

yeah, someone told me what the Duel grim thing was. would have never made it as I suck at duelling...

so, this secret is unfinnished? no wonder I couldn't get anywhere with it.
I think Jamie's most evil secret is the one that you have to uncover another secret to get to!
Jamie is evil. I think that everyone who looks for the secrets will agree on that.

.rut tf oinm dy ,eom uusv tiem wf ryiendi
But to Find Me, you must view my friend
Not "But if im to end"

Not sure if it matters, but a clarical thing.  Could "A Special Order" mean like a cult or something?

has been corrected already if you notice some of the above posts.

And yes, I've been thinking both of cults and anagrams.

To clarify, this is a Harry Potter site the riddle is taken from, so the order might be 'order of the pheonix'. But the poster above you says the riddle is only half finished so there's nothing to add to it yet.

Thanks for all your help all the same.
