How do the security system glyphs work?

Seriously, how does the priority work? Does it go from lowest to highest or highest to lowest, and how do you order them? I've done a hundred different combinations and literally nothing works.

When reading the guide, go left to right, top to bottom. Start in the top row.

Always start with eyes. If there are glyphs with an equal number of eyes, look at necks. If the necks are on the same side, look at legs.

Eyes before necks, necks before legs. You only go on to the next category if there's a tie. If you have a glyph with one eye, and the others have two, press the one eye. Then, you have to break the tie between the two eye glyphs. If one has a neck on the left side, and the other is centered, press left then center. If the necks are in the same position, use the legs to break the tie.

Also, make sure you've rolled the dice and set the knob for each attempt. If you guess wrong, you have to re-roll and set the knob again. The value on the knob and on the dice will equal 7.

so then are we looking for the lowest number in the combined 3 or the highest? i get there is an order of operations but is it lowest eye count with higher neck and then higher legs. think thats what we are struggling with. i had one that tied with eyes and 2 tied with neck, so i went with the one with the greater number of legs and was wrong.

Yeah, priority is left to right.
Which is not really intuitive since left to right is lowest to highest.

It's also easy to get "left" and "right" mixed up when you don't realize they're not talking about YOUR left.

IMO the page should include a note specifying how the priority system works. They do give you examples of correct combinations but it's still confusing.

I remember having little issue with this before, but "priority" may not be the correct term.
If Eye is first priority, shouldn't the others be ignored?
Just had 1, 2, and 3 eyes, pressed in that order, but no good.

Page 129 of the digital guide shows all the glyphs in their proper order.
One Eye, Left Neck (your left), 2 Legs Is the 1st, 2nd has the same eye and neck formation but has one more leg....
