Code Breaker – Medium

Accuracy matters more than speed. Medium puzzles often include a couple of “easy-to-slip” steps (sign errors, distributing brackets, or combining like terms).

  • Keep negatives obvious (circle them if you need to).
  • Don’t skip lines when expanding — write every term.
  • After translating, check you’ve used the right letters (no duplicates unless the map/answers produce them).
