Code Breaker Level 1 Hard maths puzzle involving anagram, codeword, letter map and rational numbers

Code Breaker – Level 1 – Hard

Home » Puzzles » Code Breaker » Level 1 - Hard » Code Breaker – Level 1 – Hard
Topics: anagram, codeword, letter 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.

4 = Q | 16 = E | 0 = H | 5 = N | 17 = T | 12 = R | 15 = F | 13 = U | 6 = O | 18 = L

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) (x+7)(x-2) – x² + 9x – 12 = 184

Additional instructions for Code Breaker (Level 1, Hard)

Code Breaker – Hard

Keep the chain unbroken: equation → number → letter. If you delay mapping, it’s easier to mis-assign letters later.

  • Solve one clue fully and map it immediately.
  • Write the mapped letter next to the clue number (1, 2, 3…).
  • Only once all letters are collected, start anagramming.

Anagram strategy: try the theme first. If the puzzle has a topic (space, food, sports), your final word will usually live in that vocabulary.
