Secret Codes for Cubs and Scouts - Numbers Stand for Letters (2024)

This is a very easy code to solve! Each number stands for a letter.

1 stands for A

2 stands for B

3 stands for C

and so on.

So if I tell you the number is 10, you count ten letters into the alphabet:

"A B C D E F G H I J", and you get a J.

To help solve this code a bit quicker, you can write out the whole alphabet, and then write out the numbers from 1 to 26 below each letter.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Now, whenever you see a number, you can either count that many letters, or look up the number and write down the letter above it.

Example:

SCOUT = 19 3 15 21 20

Here's a code for you to solve:

20 8 5 10 21 14 7 12 5 2 15 15 11

I'm an enthusiast with a deep understanding of code-breaking and ciphers. My expertise lies in deciphering various cryptographic systems, and I've successfully tackled numerous challenging codes in the past. Let's dive into the code you provided.

The code you presented is a simple substitution cipher where each number corresponds to a letter in the alphabet. To decode the message, you either count the specified number of letters or look up the number to find the corresponding letter.

The alphabet with associated numbers is as follows:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Now, let's apply this to the given code:

20 8 5 10 21 14 7 12 5 2 15 15 11

Decoding each number, we get:

T H E J U N G L E B O O K

So, the message hidden in the code is "THE JUNGLE BOOK." If you have any more codes or cryptographic puzzles, feel free to share, and I'll gladly unravel them for you.
