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

Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium

Home » Puzzles » Code Breaker » Level 1 - Medium » Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium
Topics: anagram, codeword, letters, number map, 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.

13 = F | 18 = T | 0 = H | 17 = I | 11 = K | 10 = G | 4 = E | 20 = L | 1 = R | 7 = W

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) (x-7) + 3(x-3) = 7(x-7) + 12
2) (x-5)(x+0) – x² – 5x – 4 = -4
3) 3(x+2) – 14 = 4(x+0) – 25
4) (x+6)(x+0) – (x+0)(x-2) = 144
5) 2(x+5) – 4(x-8) = 34

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.
