Ah. Got it. I counted that letter twice when I wrote them out (GVVXY), so it was both letter 2 and letter 3, and then when I did the 3421two thing it didn't work (VXVGv). Then I wondered why there'd be 5 letters if there were only 4 in the 3421two thing, so I got rid of it, and it all worked out. Hooray!
Nice puzzle. Too bad I don't have the contributor value :(
Ah well. Glad to have solved it, anyway.
Was the comma intentional, or was it indeed a screw up? Because it confused me. Great hint in the thread, by the way.

The comma is intentional. It is there to denote multiple uses of that letter.

I actually counted both V's as number two, so the two rather than 2 can serve as a clue to the case of the letter. Anyways great job!

Huh. So I was the only solver. Too bad about the CV.
