Have you identified the meaning of the portion of the code that reads, “or can is a shun”?

Have you investigated how the message is underlined?

Each segment of the underline shows a chunk of the message that sounds out a single word (The underline making an ellipses should be treated as one solid line, indicating one word sounded out by that portion of the message).

Have you worked out how the secret message can lead you to the one-word answer?

The secret message references one of the codes on the code sheet.

The mondegreen message sounds out, “North Atlantic Treaty Organization word for A.” The NATO alphabet word for “A” is Alpha. The answer is ALPHA.

That's all the hints I have for this puzzle. The next click will reveal the answer as well as a quick breakdown of the intended method for arriving at the answer.

Are you familiar with Mondegreens or “Mad-Gab”?

Mondegreens are phonetic puzzles where a set of words, read allowed, can sound out a secret message. As an example “Eye mull of mush sheen” spoken quickly sounds out “I’m a love machine.”

The portion, “or can is a shun” makes one word phonetically when spoken quickly.
