Codebreaker

Each number in the grid represents a different letter. We’ve given you two letters to start you off, which show that 1=S and 15=A. Write these letters wherever their corresponding numbers appear in the grid and then begin to work out the identity of the other letters. All 26 letters of the alphabet will appear in the finished puzzle.
