Codes for Cubs and Scouts

Numbers stand for letters

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
