✨ MAGIC CODE

🎴 FLASHCARDS
simple rules · send numbers naturally
1
“make” / “made” / “making” = cue that the next sentence contains the secret number.
“I’ll make a quick call. — Today felt busy.” (T=1)
2
First letter of the next sentence encodes the number:
T 1
N 2
M 3
R 4
L 5
S 6
A 7
C 8
I 9
W 0
“Sometimes things line up.” → 6  “Actually, that’s right.” → 7
“Come to think of it” → 8  “I guess so” → 9  “Well, maybe” → 0
3
The word “safe” in any sentence cancels the previous number sentence.
“It’s all safe now.” → ignore last coded number.
4
Color guessing – receiver translates:
1 red 2 orange 3 yellow 4 green 5 blue
Receiver thinks: “They sent 3 → must be yellow”
5
Cards – send suit first using numbers (face cards not used):
1 ♣ clubs 2 ♥ hearts 3 ♠ spades 4 ♦ diamonds
Cue: “Let me make a guess.”   Next: “Try clubs.” → T=1 → clubs.
“Spades feel right.” → S=6 → but suits only 1–4, so 6 would be invalid — students learn to stay within 1–4 for suits.
