The Count

We write amounts as letters on purpose, so the page never has to say a digit. A is one. Z is twenty-six. AA is twenty-seven. The Fool is a blank — nothing, not a letter. You can type a regular number once. We will translate it and not say it back.

Count forward

Click next. After Z the wheel closes and the next house stands up — AA.

Nothing. The Fool is the blank.

Add a house’s worth

Type the old number once. Or type letters — Z, AA, BYX. The reading will not say a digit back.
