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.

0 = U | 19 = E | 1 = G | 12 = B | 13 = N | 2 = K | 8 = J | 10 = I | 6 = T | 11 = R

Code Breaker – Medium

If you get stuck, separate the stages:

  • Stage 1: finish all algebra first (no letters yet), and quickly sanity-check the results.
  • Stage 2: translate all numbers using the map, writing the letters in the same order.
  • Stage 3: anagram the letters into a word that fits the hint.

Pro tip: longer words become easier if you group letters into likely chunks (e.g. TH / ING / ER / ED).
