What is NUMPHABET?

NUMPHABET is a puzzle game that connects letters and numbers.

The basic rule is simple: A = 1, B = 2, all the way to Z = 26. Tap the number cards that match each letter of the displayed word, from left to right. For example, “CAT” becomes 3 → 1 → 20.

Start with Easy mode and get a feel for turning letters into numbers. When you’re ready, take on Normal and Hard. These modes introduce special cards—including calculation cards and reverse-alphabet cards—along with longer words, creating increasingly challenging puzzles.

Inspiration

I wanted to create a puzzle game that people around the world could enjoy: simple to learn, but challenging enough to make you think.

My goal was to capture the satisfaction of finding the right answer and the rush of solving one letter after another as you improve. By combining a simple letter-to-number rule with calculations and reverse-alphabet mechanics, I aimed to give players more to think about while keeping the controls as simple as a tap.

Highlights

  • The satisfaction of connecting letters and numbers
    At first, you may count your way through the alphabet. With practice, you start recognizing the answers at a glance. Feel yourself improving as you build a rhythm of correct taps.

  • More challenges as the difficulty grows
    Progress from Easy to Normal and Hard. Special cards and longer words demand more complex decisions, all with the same simple tap controls.

  • Different ways to keep playing
    Chase a higher score in Score Attack, take on Daily Challenges, or compete with friends.

  • Make it your own
    Customize the look of the game with colorful cards and themes.

Designed for lasting enjoyment

I introduced a stamina system to encourage players to enjoy improving over time, rather than playing so much at once that they burn out.

By creating natural breaks between sessions, I aimed to make short play sessions satisfying and give players a reason to return feeling ready for more.
