Each number in the grid represents a different letter.

We’ve given you two letters to start you off, which

show that 1 = X and 20 = H. Write these letters

wherever their corresponding numbers appear

in the grid and then begin to work out the identity

of the other letters. All 2 6 letters of the alphabet

will appear in the finished puzzle.

Solutions on p 129

See how many words of four letters or

more you can make using the central letter

in each word and the other letters only

once in each word. You can make at least

one word by using all the letters. No proper

names, plurals or verb forms ending

in the letter ‘s’ are allowed, and all words

are from the Collins Dictionary.
