Write a secret code!


A secret code writing is a way of passing people messages without other people understanding them. There are all sorts of ways of writing a secret code. I am going to use numbers.

In my code each letter of the alphabet have a number, like this:

A   B   C   D   E   F    G   H   I   J   K   L    M   N   O    P    Q     R    S    T   U   V    W    X    Y    Z
1    2    3   4    5   6    7   8   9  10 11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  19 20  21  22  23   24  25  26

So 'HELLO' would be written '8-5-12-12-15'.

Task 1) What is this word?  6-15-15-20-2-1-12-12

Task 2) Write your own message using the code above. Put dashes between each number so they don't get mixed up or confused.

Task 3) You might even want to make up your own code and explain how to 'decipher' (read) it.

Have fun!
