Question regarding The sacrifice: Hacking orokin ciphers (possible spoilers)

[Kramit The Frog]

Can someone explain to me how that was supposed to work? Here I am enjoying trying to brain my way through the 2nd puzzle, and Ordis just goes "Nope, time's up I solved it for you." I still have no idea how to read the glyphs to form a solution if there are more puzzles ahead. I'm fine with DE putting a fail safe for those that are stuck but I'd have preferred if it was something I could opt into rather than discovering I had a time limit.

Anyone? This was really irritating :/

The fact that the glyphs are shown in pairs is supposed to be how you figure out the order they go in.

Let's say the solution to a six-character code is ABCDEF. In The Sacrifice orokin cipher, you might've found pairs that were CD, BC, EF, AB, DE. The pairs CD and DE tell you that CDE is part of the six-character code, and AB and BC tell you that ABC is part of the code. Put the C's together to get ABCE, and then you only have EF left, so you know the final code is ABCDEF.

That's more or less how you were expected to solve it.

Ordis does point this out, maybe if you muted ordis you didn't hear this?

Oh man was I over thinking it. I remember Ordis saying something about the pairs but I didn't catch it. Oh well. At least I get it now. Thanks!
