Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's count the number of letters in each word of the given phrases to check if that matches the code digit:
'keep' (4), 'it' (2), 'simple' (6) → Code: 426
'bring' (5), 'the' (3), 'board' (5), 'games' (5) → Code: 5355
'play' (4), 'by' (2), 'the' (3), 'rules' (5) → Code: 4235
The logic is that each digit represents the length of the corresponding word in the phrase.
Applying this logic to 'puzzles are fun to play':
'puzzles' → 7 letters
'are' → 3 letters
'fun' → 3 letters
'to' → 2 letters
'play' → 4 letters
Thus, the code is 73324.
