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.

1 = P | 6 = S | 14 = H | 19 = A | 12 = R | 8 = B | 20 = I | 0 = T | 3 = C | 17 = M

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) 8(x-3) – 13 = 2(x-2) + 3
2) (x+4)(x+6) – (x-5)(x-6) = -6
3) (x+8) + 6(x-3) = 3(x-8) + 90
4) (x+0)(x+5) – x² – 6x – 3 = -23
5) 5(x+3) – 7(x+8) = -65

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.
