OK,
Below is a film title. Instead of having blanks with the number of letters in each word, you have a number representing each letter.

Anyone who has completed a Codeword puzzle should understand this.

The twist is though that these numbers follow some kind of pattern that can be used to solve what letters relate to the numbers.

An example would be: "|20|08|05|_|07|15|15|04|_|20|08|05|_|02|01|04|_|01|14|04|_|20|08|05|_|21|07|12|25|"

There are plenty of ways to solve this one:

The numbers 20,08 and 05 show up four times together, could only be one possible word, which is "THE". Once you have these three letters, you can replace the same number with these in the other words, but that doesn't really help you much here.

The next thing to do is to decode the other letters with the ones you have already found. T is the 2oth letter in the alphabet, H the 8th and E the 5th. All letters should follow exactly the same pattern. Therefore, all the letters should be able to be easily decoded, giving the answer to the puzzle "The Good The Bad And The Ugly".

Not all these puzzles will be that simple, and other may be coded differently, but will still follow a specific pattern.

Any questions, please ask.

One suggestion: personally, I find this format a bit easier to read (the vertical bars look too much like 1's):
06-23-01-02-09-14 04-11 14-15-09 01-06-09-12

One question: is there a category?

B cannot be both 19 and 23, Banjooie.
What's the category, anyway? Movie titles?

I'm not giving away the category just yet.
If I do, it can give some people advantages over others if there knowledge on that category is higher.

Without a category, its an even playing field, and can only be solved with logic, and not category knowledge.

I believe you misspelled, "If I do, it will negate the compound avantaged gained by people who figure out the category and then have both category knowledge and logic available to them."

(Though, with 1.5 datapoints, it would be surprising if that became an issue already :) ).

The first round was very much a 'warm up' puzzle.

What, nobody wants to try? Don't let the lack of clues stop you, just post a guess to match the pattern.

Here's mine:

Well, unless I misunderstood the aim, you're meant to be finding a proper link between numbers and letters, not just guessing something which matches the pattern of numbers. If that made sense. Or maybe Geomatrix intended it to be like hangman, where people just guess randomly? Hm.
(Thats not right, by the way.)

No takers at all?
Heres a couple of letters that don't occur, with their numbers:

I guess its pretty hard to work this out without just knowing a possibility of reorganising the letters, and trying things from there..
