We’ve created a simple code by taking a 13-letter phrase with no repeated letters and writing the remaining 13 letters in alphabetical order under it. For example:

Letters are encoded by vertical substitution, so GROVEL encodes as BQEWOH. The three words below are encoded using a different base phrase. Can you deduce the phrase?

A = 5

Put poker chips worth $5, $10, or $25 on the squares of this grid - but no more than one chip per square - so that their dollar values total the amount shown for each row, column, and long diagonal. Not every square will have a chip on it. Several chips and one blank square (designated by a star) have been placed to get you started.

Deduce a secret number made of four different digits 1 through 9. The chart shows four guesses at the number, and a score for each guess using marbles. Any digit that appears in the secret number in the same position as in the guess is scored with a black marble. Any digit that appears in the secret number in a different position that in the guess is scored with a white marble. Any digit that is not in the secret number does not get a marble. It’s up to you to determine which digits are indicated by the marbles. Can you figure out the four-digit number?

Summary

The 7s seemed to be the obvious start and gave the last number. The last row tells you there can’t be an 8. Then from the first row you know there must be both a 5 and 1. The last row tells you the 5 is in the right place. The second row tells you were the 1 must be, then. And the third row gives you the 4.

Me too!
