Can these weird clovers tell your fortune? is the first puzzle of the 2022 Cryptex Hunt, and is presented as one of each letter of the Latin alphabet among a field of clovers.
Solve Paths
Solvers' initial instincts should be to follow the prompt at the top of the page, specifically to find the four-leaf clovers amongst the three- and two-leaved variants. Doing so, they should discover that there are exactly 5 of them, with each touching a single one of the letters. Taking these letters in reading order should spell solvers' final answer.

Now that the four-leaf clovers have been used, the one other odd things solvers should notice is the oddly-shaped two-leaf clovers (another not-too-common variant). Each leaf's long edge appears to point in one of the 8 ordinal directions. This paired with the fact that there are always two different directions being pointed to should indicate that semaphore is being used. The two-leaf clovers are arranged approximately into two lines of length 6 and 5, and translate to POTATO STATE, a clue to the final answer.
