What words to enter in the terminal at Metropol ?

Hi,
i am kind of stuck. I need to find out the code to enter the tower.
I got the monocle, and use it on the terminal to see the secret entries. Fine.
I was still stuck, so i look at a walkthrough. Look like i have to search for words like "art/created/oracle". How am i suppose to know i have to look for those words ? Did i miss clues somewhere ?

Yeah, basically with the monocle on, things should jump out to you as different on the screen -- for one, MetroMind's propaganda is gone, but also certain words will stand out (e.g., be in ALL CAPS, or misspelled, or an acrostic [ART], a number-for-letter substitution, etc.). Then you put them all together to get the last word.

(Also, you can technically assemble the Council Code without getting Memorious's fragments, so that's another option.)

OK that's for your answer. Hard but clever one !
Your game is great by the way.

Thank you so much!

And yeah, that puzzle is the one that has most bedeviled players from 2012 forward. (There's a similar lateral-thinking puzzle in Strangeland that is likewise a stumbling point for a lot of players.) People enjoy solving it (and the Council Code) but it can be frustrating as hell if you get stuck. I'm glad it didn't overshadow other things for you!
