ALPHANUMERIC PUZZLES

 -- Solving TIPS & HINTS --   

 

Remember that every letter MUST have a different value.

So if you have already found beyond doubt that O=19

Then NO OTHER LETTER CAN TAKE THAT VALUE.

 

NO LETTER CAN HAVE A VALUE > 26

 

Letter values can be  ONE or TWO digit values.

(that is the hardest part to grasp with Alphanumeric Puzzles)

 

Until the values  1  and 2  have been assigned, you will find that

You often need to hold onto alternative values for letters.

Eg.  It may be that for a while know that a letter

Has a value  1 OR 12 ,  or,   2 OR 23 etc

These alternatives are crucial components to hang onto until it can

be proved which value is correct beyond doubt.

A correct letter value ALWAYS becomes obvious in the end.

 

Progress is made by always carefully selecting the next BEST word:

Usually a word with the  most already established letters-values included.

 

Each puzzle starts tough, and gradually gets easier as letter values are established,

and as grid availability becomes more scarce.
