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 unsolved grid-space becomes more scarce.

You will know if you have solved each puzzle correctly,

but if you have any problems, or wish to contact Alan for a grid solution.
