Do you mean that I should put the letters that I found in the source code at "Gluttony" next to the ones I found at "Heresy"? or what..

Example:
"mawarectaymd"

or does the spaces play an important role in this?

you don't just have to guess your way to the answer on 47. there is a system that will get you the correct word with no guessing what so ever.

I've figured out the system now.. but it's hard for me to explain that in english, not very good at it

Edit: The sentence(answer) is only 4 words

do you mean i'll have to scramble all letter clues altogether and make 4 words out of it? there will definitely be useless letters then. is there a system to do it? all the while i was trying to add more letters to make a sentence. :frown:

i feel soooo dumb. :cry:

The point of the hint is not to tell you where to look, but simply to tell you where not to look. So as long as you're not looking down...
