Code Breaker Level 1 Medium maths puzzle involving anagram, codeword, letter map and number

Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium

Home » Puzzles » Code Breaker » Level 1 - Medium » Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium
Topics: anagram, codeword, letter map, number, rational numbers, rounding

Each correct answer gives a number. Use the scrambled letter map to translate those numbers into letters. The five letters you uncover form an anagram – solve it to unlock the codeword. Round normally to get to a rational number, if needed.

19 = A | 0 = D | 10 = Y | 11 = T | 4 = L | 9 = H | 14 = G | 5 = O | 3 = W | 15 = R

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) (x+1) + 5(x+5) = 2(x+2) + 66
2) (x+6)(x+4) – (x-2)(x-1) = 139
3) 4(x+5) – 6(x+0) = -10
4) 7(x-6) + 3 = 3(x+3) – 28
5) (x+6)(x-6) – x² + 8x – 7 = -19

Code Breaker – Medium

Medium difficulty usually means the algebra requires more steps (brackets, collecting like terms, possibly factorising) before you can translate numbers into letters.

Best workflow:

  • Solve each equation with one algebra move per line (keeps errors down).
  • Record answers in strict order (1 → value, 2 → value…).
  • Convert each value using the map, then anagram the letters into a themed word.

Anagram tip: set aside any letters you suspect are “extras” only after you’ve tried a couple of sensible word shapes.
