Answer Submission in cypher.html Accepting Encoded Value Instead of Decoded Value

https://sujankarthikm.github.io/questnexes1/cypher.html Decoding "NEXUS" with the Keyword "CAT" gives LEESS But the code is accepting PEQWS which is what you get by encoding "NEXUS" with the keyword "CAT".

We had this is the event today and because of this we couldn't go ahead.

It sounds like you're saying that in your group's discussion or materials, the examples were consistently showing encryption steps where letters were added rather than subtracted, which led to a misunderstanding when it came to the decryption process. Additionally, after realizing the correct decryption in my previous example (producing "SIXZB"), it would have been clearer to apply the logic of adding shifts, rather than subtracting them. In our defence , there where many people who solved it using encryption and I am soory for this mistake.

I think I understood but I still don't understand the "SIXZB" logic. Encoding the word "HELLO" with the keyword "LEMON" gives "SIXZB" Similarly encoding the word "NEXUS" with the keyword "CAT" gives "PEQWS" Am I wrong here?
