Here's a sort of code you may have seen before.
| A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T | 1 |
| D, G | 2 |
| B, C, M, P | 3 |
| F, H, V, W, Y | 4 |
| K | 5 |
| J, X | 8 |
| Q, Z | 10 |
If you exchanged each letter of your name for a number, what would the code be?
Mine is Lynne so my code is 1 4 1 1 1 . The numbers add up to 8 which is not much!!
What is your name worth using this code?
Try some other names - what names are worth the most and which are worth the least?
Are longer names always worth more?
Can you work out why certain letters are worth a lot and why others are only worth one?
