This clue was pointing directly to the encoding method used in a prior clue, where the Four-Square cipher was involved. It also hinted that the letter "Q" is the odd character out in a 5-by-5 grid, since Q often gets left out to make room for all 26 letters in a 25-character cipher.
What’s more, Felis included a slightly more readable version of clue #5 (since his original transmission was garbled with static). Felis, being the trickster messenger that he is, loves to hide meta-hints and clues within clues, so this serves as a reminder to always dig deeper and examine each clue carefully—you never know when there’s a hidden layer waiting to be unlocked!
