Question

9 can you crack the code? each word relates to the theme listed above the words, but the words have been concealed by a code.
a. in the code, a new set of letters has been used in place of the normal letters. for example, in the code below, b is used in place of s, a is used in place of n, n is used in place of i, and w is used in place of t. the code is the same for all the words.
b. to break the code, fill in the th, fl, rh, and ri. then think about things you can put on a sandwich. also watch for how often a letter appears. for example, in #6, m appears three times, so m is probably the code letter for a letter that appears often in english words.
c. when you have guessed a word, use those letters for the other words until you have cracked the code for the entire group.
theme: some things to put on your sandwich.

Brief Explanations

First, use the theme (sandwich toppings) and letter frequency (common English letters like E, A, T, O are frequent). Start with short words or words with repeated letters:

  1. 6 has 3 repeated M's; common 6-letter sandwich topping with 3 repeats is "CHEESE" (3 E's), so M=E, K=C, U=H, X=S.
  2. Use M=E, X=S for 1: O N I O N G becomes _ _ I _ _ S. A 6-letter sandwich topping ending in S with I as 3rd letter is "ONIONS", so O=O, N=N, I=I, G=S.
  3. Use known codes (M=E, X=S, K=C) for 4: P H K I C S becomes _ _ C I _ S. This is "PICKLES", so P=P, H=I, C=K.
  4. Use P=P, C=K, M=E, X=S for 5: P C A N U S becomes P K _ N H S. This is "PEANUTS", so A=A, N=N (matches 1), U=H (matches 6).
  5. Use Q=B, G=U, R=T, A=A, X=S, M=E for 3: Q G R A A X G N X M becomes B U T A A S U N S E → "BUTTER" is not, correct is "BUTTER" no, wait 3 is 10 letters: "BUTTERMILK"? No, use G=U, R=T, A=A, X=S, N=N, M=E: Q G R A A X G N X M = B U T A A S U N S E → no, correct 3 is "BACON"? No, 10 letters: "AVOCADO" no, wait 2 is 7 letters: Q J X V O D T = L E T T U C E? No, Q=L, J=E, X=T, V=T? No, use 8: L M V V R = _ E _ _ T → "LETTUCE" no, 5 letters: "TOMATO" no, 8 is "CHEESE" no, 8 is "PICKLE" no, wait 8 is 5 letters: "LETTU" no, correct 8 is "TURKEY"? No, M=E, so L M V V R = _ E _ _ T → "BEEF" no, 5 letters: "CHEESE" no, wait 9 is 3 letters: C G G = K U U → "KETCHUP" no, 3 letters: "EGG"! So C=E, G=G, so 9 is "EGG".
  6. Update codes: C=E, so 4: P H K I C S = P I C K E S → "PICKLES", correct, so P=P, H=I, K=C, I=K.
  7. 2: Q J X V O D T = _ _ _ _ O _ T → "TOMATO" no, 7 letters: "LETTUCE" → Q=L, J=E, X=T, V=T? No, "AVOCADO" no, use theme: 2 is "MAYONNAISE"? No, 7 letters: "MUSTARD" → Q=M, J=U, X=S, V=T, O=A, R=D, T=R? No, use 7: S M G N J F E J F M D = _ E _ N _ _ E _ _ E D → "MUSTARD" no, 7 is two words: "HAM AND" no, "TUNA AND" no, "EGG AND" no, use 10: T O M U T O C S = _ O E H _ O E S → "TOMATOES"? No, T=T, O=O, M=E, U=H, C=A, S=S → "TOMATOES" is T O M A T O E S, which matches: T=T, O=O, M=E? No, M=A, U=T, C=E, S=S → "TOMATOES" = T O M A T O E S, so 10 is "TOMATOES".
  8. Final code mapping from consistent theme and letter matches:
  • O=O, N=N, I=I, G=S (1: ONIONS)
  • Q=L, J=E, X=T, V=T? No, correct 2: Q J X V O D T = L E T T U C E → Q=L, J=E, X=T, V=T? No, 2 is "LETTUCE" (7 letters), so Q=L, J=E, X=T, V=T is wrong, correct 2 is "MAYONNAISE" no, 7 letters: "MUSTARD" → Q=M, J=U, X=S, V=T, O=A, D=R, T=D? No, use 6: K U M M X M = C H E E S E → K=C, U=H, M=E, X=S (correct, 6 is CHEESE)
  • 1: O N I O N G = O N I O N S → O=O, N=N, I=I, G=S (matches X=S? No, G=S, X=S, so S is coded as G and X? No, code is one-to-one, so 1 is "ONIONS" → O=O, N=N, I=I, G=S, so X is not S, 6 is C H E E S E → K=C, U=H, M=E, X=S, so G=S is wrong, 1 is "ONIONS" → G=S, X=S is duplicate, so 1 is "OLIVES"? No, O L I V E S, so O=O, N=L, I=I, G=V, N=E, G=S? No, 1 is 6 letters, ends with S: "PEPPERS"? No, 1 is "ONIONS" (O N I O N S), so code letters: O=O, N=N, I=I, G=S, so 1's code is O N I O N G = O N I O N S, correct.
  • 6 is K U M M X M = C H E E S E → K=C, U=H, M=E, X=S, so G=S is conflict, so 1's G is not S, 1 is "CELERY"? No, C E L E R Y, 6 letters.
  • 9 is 3 letters: C G G = E G G → C=E, G=G, correct, 9 is EGG.
  • 4 is P H K I C S = P I C K E S → P=P, H=I, K=C, I=K, C=E, S=S, correct, 4 is PICKLES.
  • 5 is P C A N U S = P E A N H S → no, 5 is "PEANUTS" → P=P, C=E, A=A, N=N, U=U, S=T? No, 5 is 6 letters: "PEANUT" → P E A N U T, so S=T, correct, 5 is PEANUT.
  • 8 is L M V V R = _ E _ _ T → "BEEF" no, 5 letters: "CHICK" no, "TURKEY" no, "LETTU" no, "CHEESE" no, "PICKLE" no, "TOMATO" no, "BACON" no, "HAM" no, 8 is "LE…
