The objective is to delete all the red outlined characters. It allows only 12 key presses and you enter from the bridge above (on either n, d or the space after "find)". Leaving the puzzle resets it.

From the game author:
In order to finish this puzzle, you need to collect the 'f', ';' and ',' keys. Note that when you bump into bushes, you sometimes find things - either keyboard shortcuts or people.
You should go back to the Alice text at the beginning of the level (the long one) and go through all the bushes. There are a lot of things to find. It will also make traversing the text a lot easier.
One more thing, if you're still missing one keystroke to finish this text after you collect everything, remember that ';' and ',' repeat the last search within the line, even if it was not performed on the current text.
Hope that helps.

3Ohhhh I see - so the problem is, the original asker just hasn't found all the keystrokes he needs to solve the puzzle.– TacroyCommented Feb 5, 2013 at 17:05

9Performing the initial search on another text helped me getting rid of one key stroke that I had too much.– iltempoCommented May 20, 2013 at 17:30

1can you give exact key stroke you did? I'm already using
;and,and Im 1 keystroke short to finish it Commented Jul 15, 2020 at 15:26 -
@CharlieParker: The missing keystroke is your initial Fx. You have to enter the riddle, press Fx, escape the riddle and re-enter it. On your next try you only need ";", "," and "x". Don't use the F anymore. Enter the riddle twice is forced. You cannot solve it on your first try. Commented Jun 12, 2023 at 15:08
If you type the fx before enter in the keystroke-counting text, you only need to use j and ; to solve the puzzle.
