Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium

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

7 = L | 16 = B | 4 = H | 17 = M | 10 = Q | 14 = U | 6 = E | 15 = Y | 11 = I | 2 = T

Code Breaker – Medium

Do the algebra cleanly, then lock it in. A good Medium strategy is to keep a little “answers table” so nothing gets swapped around.

  • Equation # | Value | Mapped letter
  • Translate each value as soon as you find it (don’t leave all mapping until the end).
  • When you’ve got all letters, start building the word using the hint/theme.

Word-building trick: try spotting likely vowels first, then test common consonant pairs (TH, SH, CH, ST, ER).
