You can overall ignore things that don't seem relevant, and just follow the rules. So "animals are telling the truth" doesn't mean non-animals are lying for example.

Took me some time, but now I got it. I'm wondering though why the following is no valid solution:
Gerr, Ubhfr, Enoovg, Znyyrg

Oh my oh my what a fun puzzle! Really challenging and has implicit things to look out for towards the end, but VERY enjoyable altogether!

What does "Animals are telling the truth" mean? Truth (or untruth) is not defined anywhere.
You can overall ignore things that don't seem relevant, and just follow the rules. So "animals are telling the truth" doesn't mean non-animals are lying for example.

I found it so hard to narrow down what could go where, but the discoveries were totally worth persevering! What a cleverly constructed game.
What does the mallet mean when it mentions a tree?
OK, I just found out.
