A cipher quiz using square numbers
Do you know about the Four-Corner Code? The Four-Corner Code assigns digits 0–9 to the four corners of a kanji based on its shape, allowing you to look up characters by form.
Here is a cipher quiz that uses that code.
Each kanji is represented by a four-digit number.
This time there are four four-digit numbers, and it seems to form a four-character idiom.
The order for taking the Four-Corner Code is top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
Let’s match the four-digit numbers and figure out which kanji they represent.

As you solve the puzzles, you consider whether there’s a cipher rule and what the numbers mean in relation to the animal types, so flexible, outside-the-box thinking is required.
