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.

11 = N | 17 = C | 20 = V | 9 = T | 0 = A | 10 = I | 16 = K | 1 = M | 2 = G | 8 = L

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) (x-1) + 5(x+0) = 4(x+4) + 23
2) (x+5)(x-1) – x² + 3x – 5 = 60
3) 6(x-5) + 12 = 5(x+5) – 34
4) (x-7)(x-3) – (x-4)(x-7) = -7
5) 8(x-3) – 3(x-8) = 40

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.
