Also note that some words begin with vowels: Envelope for 2859; Amber
for 394.
If at first you cannot easily form words for all numbers, do not be
discouraged. Practice will give you most words instantaneously. Soon
you will instantly recognize numbers like 285 as Novel; 741 as Cart;
101 as Toast. This ability will come quickly if you practice and in no
other way will you acquire it.
Adjectives as Helps
You have already found that some numbers of three digits cannot be
made into a single word. Others that can be translated into words are
sometimes difficult of visualization. To overcome these difficulties
and to add greatly to the rapidity with which you can form large
numbers, use adjectives for the first digits and the words of the
Code list for the others. The combination is quickly made and easily
recalled. You will find that in larger figures of six digits the idea
works equally well.
1 Hot, Wet, White 6 Huge, Shy, Ashy
2 New or No 7 Sick, Gay, Weak
3 My or May 8 Heavy, Few, Wavy
4 Sour, Raw, Hairy 9 Happy or Webby
5 Low, Oily, Yellow 10 Dizzy
Select one of the adjectives for each digit and become familiar with it
and use it continuously, unless another improves the sense materially.
165 Hot Jail 666 Shy Judge
263 New Jam 776 Weak Cage
333 My Mama 829 Heavy Knob
498 Hairy Beehive 993 Happy Bomb
568 Yellow Chief 1035 Dizzy Mail
The adjectives will be of great assistance as well in forming words for
four digit numbers:
1149 Hot Trap 7195 Weak Table
2262 New Engine 8941 Heavy Bird
A few additional examples of adjectives will show how helpful this idea
can be made:
12--Thin 21--Neat 72--Keen
13--Dim 32--Mean 77--Quick
14--Dear 46--Rich 82--Fine
15--Tall 58--Live 65--Jolly
16--Dutch 62--Shiny 97--Big
For practice translate the following by use of adjectives and Code
words, where possible, or adjectives and three digit words.
127............ 1147............ 21147............
932............ 1932............ 29595............
478............ 2746............ 32649............
531............ 9127............ 61492............
397............ 1392............ 45921............
729............ 7146............ 72952............
635............ 6592............ 15864............
Telephone Numbers
Remembering telephone numbers is a practical application of the Number
Code which can be helpful to all. There is probably no combination of
figures you are more often called upon to remember than these. When you
need them you need them at once. Master the Number Code and you will
find that it has paid you many times in this application alone.
