__SS_SSS_____
To interpret the sequences of numbers (8363-83763-6227873-6223, 35773-7773-6633-(71)-6223, 23677-7773-66733-(74)-6223, 77873-7773-667333-(75)-6223) as words using the provided pager code mapping, we’ll apply the given key to each digit in the sequences. The mapping assigns letters to digits as follows:
2: A, B, C
3: D, E, F
4: G, H, I
5: J, K, L
6: M, N, O
7: P, Q, R, S
8: T, U, V
9: W, X, Y, Z
Each digit can represent any of its corresponding letters, so we’ll decode each component of the sequences to find possible words or meaningful letter combinations. Since pagers typically sent short codes, we’ll focus on individual components (e.g., 8363, 7773, 6223) rather than the full sequence, as long sequences are less common in pager communication. We’ll also consider the possibility that the numbers spell words, abbreviations, or codes, and account for potential typos in the sequences (e.g., 23677 in sequence 3 may be a typo for 23673, and C components 66733, 667333 may be 933333, 9333333, as suggested in prior analysis).
Step 1: Correct the Sequences
The third sequence has 23677, which appears to be a typo since the other sequences’ A components are 8363, 35773, 23673, 77873, and the prior analysis assumed 23673. The C components in sequences 3 and 4 (66733, 667333) may also be typos for 933333, 9333333, based on the pattern
C = 6 \times 10^{D-68} + (10^{D-68} - 1)/3
. We’ll decode both the given and corrected values where relevant.
Corrected sequences:
8363-83763-6227873-6223
35773-7773-6633-(71)-6223
23673-7773-933333-(74)-6223
77873-7773-9333333-(75)-6223
Step 2: Decode Each Component
We’ll break down each sequence into components (A, B, C, D, E) and decode each digit using the provided mapping. For each component, we’ll try to form meaningful words or note if the result is a random letter string. Since some components are long (e.g., 6227873), they may represent phrases, abbreviations, or codes rather than single words.
Sequence 1: 8363-83763-6227873-6223
A: 8363
8: T, U, V
3: D, E, F
6: M, N, O
3: D, E, F
Possible combinations (4 letters): TEDF, TUDE, VODF, etc.
Words: None are obvious 4-letter words. “TUDE” resembles “attitude” but is incomplete. Likely an identifier or abbreviation.
B: 83763
8: T, U, V
3: D, E, F
7: P, Q, R, S
6: M, N, O
3: D, E, F
Combinations (5 letters): TEDND, UERNE, VFSOF, etc.
Words: No clear 5-letter words. Could be an abbreviation or code (e.g., “TERNE” is a metal alloy, but obscure).
C: 6227873
6: M, N, O
2: A, B, C
2: A, B, C
7: P, Q, R, S
8: T, U, V
7: P, Q, R, S
3: D, E, F
Combinations (7 letters): MAAPTDE, NBBQUFD, OCCSVFE, etc.
Words: No obvious 7-letter words. Too long for a single pager word; likely a phrase or code.
D: 6223 (in parentheses)
6: M, N, O
2: A, B, C
2: A, B, C
3: D, E, F
Combinations: MADE, NBFE, OCFD, etc.
Words: MADE is a clear 4-letter word. Others (e.g., NACE, OBEF) are not standard words but could be names or codes.
E: 6223
Same as D: MADE, NACE, OCFD, etc.
Since D = E in sequence 1, “MADE” is a strong candidate.
Sequence 2: 35773-7773-6633-(71)-6223
A: 35773
3: D, E, F
5: J, K, L
7: P, Q, R, S
7: P, Q, R, S
3: D, E, F
Combinations: DJRRD, EKSSD, FLPQE, etc.
Words: No clear 5-letter words. “EJRSE” resembles “curse” but doesn’t match. Likely a code.
B: 7773
7: P, Q, R, S
7: P, Q, R, S
7: P, Q, R, S
3: D, E, F
Combinations: PPPE, QQRD, SSFD, etc.
Words: No standard words. “SSFD” could be an abbreviation (e.g., fire department code), but speculative.
C: 6633 (possibly 6333 if typo)
6: M, N, O
6: M, N, O (or 3: D, E, F if 6333)
3: D, E, F
3: D, E, F
For 6633: MMDD, NNEE, OOFF, etc.
Words: NODE (if N, O, D, E). Others (e.g., MODE, NOFF) are close but not exact.
For 6333: MDEE, NFDE, OEDF, etc.
Words: None are clear words. Could be a code.
D: 71 (in parentheses)
7: P, Q, R, S
1: (no letters assigned; assume numeric or error)
Combinations: P1, Q1, R1, S1
Words: None, as 1 has no letters. Likely a priority code (e.g., “priority 71”).
E: 6223
Same as sequence 1: MADE, NACE, OCFD, etc.
Sequence 3: 23673-7773-933333-(74)-6223
A: 23673 (assuming correction from 23677)
2: A, B, C
3: D, E, F
6: M, N, O
7: P, Q, R, S
3: D, E, F
Combinations: ADMPE, BENSE, CFORD, etc.
Words: CFORD could be “Ford” (as in the car brand or name). Others are not standard words.
B: 7773
Same as sequence 2: PPPE, QQRD, SSFD, etc. No clear words.
C: 933333 (given: 66733, likely typo)
9: W, X, Y, Z (or 6: M, N, O for 66733)
3: D, E, F
3: D, E, F
3: D, E, F
3: D, E, F
3: D, E, F
For 933333: WDDDEE, XEEFFD, YFFFFE, etc.
Words: No clear 6-letter words. Likely a code.
For 66733: MMPDE, NOREE, OOSFD, etc.
Words: NOSEE (if N, O, E, E, E) resembles “no see.” Others are not words.
D: 74
7: P, Q, R, S
4: G, H, I
Combinations: PG, QH, RI, SH, etc.
Words: SH (shush), RI (abbreviation or name). Others not words.
E: 6223
Same: MADE, NACE, OCFD, etc.
Sequence 4: 77873-7773-9333333-(75)-6223
A: 77873
7: P, Q, R, S
7: P, Q, R, S
8: T, U, V
7: P, Q, R, S
3: D, E, F
Combinations: PPTPE, QQVQD, SSTRE, etc.
Words: SSTRE resembles “street” but doesn’t match. No clear words.
B: 7773
Same: PPPE, QQRD, SSFD, etc.
C: 9333333 (given: 667333, likely typo)
9: W, X, Y, Z (or 6: M, N, O for 667333)
3: D, E, F
(5 more 3s)
For 9333333: WDDDDDDE, XFFFFFFF, YEEEEEEE, etc.
Words: No 8-letter words. Likely a code.
For 667333: MMPDDEE, NOREFFE, OOSFEEE, etc.
Words: No clear 7-letter words.
D: 75
7: P, Q, R, S
5: J, K, L
Combinations: PJ, QK, RL, SK, etc.
Words: None are standard words. Could be initials or code.
E: 6223
Same: MADE, NACE, OCFD, etc.
Step 3: Identify Meaningful Words
Let’s summarize the meaningful words or near-words:
Sequence 1:
D, E (6223): MADE (clear word, meaning “created” or “completed”).
Sequence 2:
C (6633): NODE (if N, O, D, E; meaning a point or connection).
Sequence 3:
A (23673): CFORD (could be “Ford,” a name or brand).
C (66733): NOSEE (if N, O, E, E, E; resembles “no see,” informal).
D (74): SH (shush), RI (abbreviation or name).
Sequence 4:
None are clear words.
Step 4: Interpret in Pager Context
Pagers often used short codes for quick communication. The words “MADE,” “NODE,” “CFORD,” “NOSEE,” “SH,” and “RI” are plausible:
MADE (6223, sequences 1’s D and E, all E): Could mean “task completed” or “arrived.”
NODE (6633, sequence 2’s C): Could indicate a location or point (e.g., network or hospital node).
CFORD (23673, sequence 3’s A): Could be a name, brand, or location (e.g., “Ford Ward”).
NOSEE (66733, sequence 3’s C): Informal, possibly “nothing to see” or a code.
SH, RI (74, sequence 3’s D): “SH” for “quiet,” “RI” as initials or code.
Longer components (e.g., 6227873, 9333333) don’t form words and are likely identifiers or codes, as pager messages rarely encoded long phrases due to display limits. The constant E (6223 = MADE) across all sequences suggests a fixed message, like “confirm” or “complete.”
Step 5: Consider Typos
If C in sequences 3 and 4 is corrected (933333, 9333333), they decode to strings like WEEEEEE, which don’t form words, reinforcing that C is likely a code, not a word. The given 66733 (NOSEE) is more likely a word than 933333.
Final Answer
Using the provided pager code (2=A,B,C; 3=D,E,F; 4=G,H,I; 5=J,K,L; 6=M,N,O; 7=P,Q,R,S; 8=T,U,V; 9=W,X,Y,Z), the sequences yield these meaningful words:
6223 (E in all sequences, D in sequence 1): MADE (meaning “created” or “completed”).
6633 (C in sequence 2): NODE (meaning a point or connection).
23673 (A in sequence 3): CFORD (possibly “Ford,” a name or brand).
66733 (C in sequence 3, possibly typo): NOSEE (informal, “nothing to see”).
74 (D in sequence 3): SH (“shush”), RI (initials or code).
Other components (e.g., 83763, 6227873, 9333333) don’t form clear words and are likely identifiers or codes. In a pager context, these words could indicate actions (e.g., “MADE” = task done, “SH” = be quiet) or identifiers (e.g., “CFORD” = location, “NODE” = station), with 6223 (“MADE”) as a common confirmation code across all messages.
Sequence 1: 8363-83763-6227873-6223
TEDF-TERNE-MAAPTDE-MADE
Sequence 2: 35773-7773-6633-(71)-6223
DJRRD-PPPE-NODE-P1-MADE
Sequence 3: 23673-7773-933333-(74)-6223
CFORD-PPPE-WDDDEE-SH-MADE
Sequence 4: 77873-7773-9333333-(75)-6223
PPTPE-PPPE-WDDDDDDE-PJ-MADE
To address your request, I’ll decode each component of the sequences (8363-83763-6227873-6223, 35773-7773-6633-(71)-6223, 23673-7773-933333-(74)-6223, 77873-7773-9333333-(75)-6223) using the provided pager code (2=A,B,C; 3=D,E,F; 4=G,H,I; 5=J,K,L; 6=M,N,O; 7=P,Q,R,S; 8=T,U,V; 9=W,X,Y,Z). For any component ending in 3, I’ll truncate the last digit (3) before decoding, meaning I’ll decode the number without its final 3 (e.g., 8363 becomes 836, 6223 becomes 622). I’ll list all possible letter combinations for each component, formatted like “6223: MADE, NADE, OADE, MBDE, ...”, focusing on 4-letter or shorter components (A, B, D, E) and including C where feasible, prioritizing meaningful words. Long components (e.g., 6227873) will be summarized briefly. I’ll use the corrected sequences (23673, 933333, 9333333) from prior analysis.
Truncation Rule
If the component ends in 3 (maps to D,E,F), remove the last digit.
Decode the remaining digits using the pager code.

My current theory of how this works:
- Ricky has a pager, he holds drugs for another guy and when Ricky gets paged he gets something like:
83638376362278736223. They use this system presumably because the pager is reachable via an 800 number or a local free to call certain local numbers ( telecommunications tariffs.) I'm more inclined to believe this is the real reason why than message ambiguity or obfuscation, since a snitch could easily reveal what this message actually meant and it would all be foiled; people used to do this all the time though, and I know this because I spent a good part of my teenage years in Little Rock and you just couldn't get away from banger culture in that city. St. Louis as far as I know was more or less the same, maybe a little less rough around the edges.
It's not T9 though in theory it could be? Rather for every number there is 3-4 letters, and every letter should represent a word. You can split the number for every 3 to group numbers together to form complete thoughts. To effectively decode it you would need to have some rapport with the person who is sending you the message.
This way the dealer:
- Never had anything on him he could get robbed for
- Never had to bring anybody to where his drugs were stashed
- Never spoke a word that might reveal any information to the person they were requesting drugs for
So for Ricky obviously this makes sense to write out the number sequences that you can easily identify as this will quickly lead you to the realization of the rest of the message:
I think the the next clue which supports this theory is the handwriting semantics. There are recurring sequences which are more contiguous than others, as if it were not always written left to write or write to left, but from wherever felt natural given their familiarity with certain parts of the message.
It seems they may have also struggled to decode the message too:
TFRNE–NPT–NSE–NP–RSE–RCB–NSE–N–PRSE INC
PRSE–N–M–RSE–DPREHLDWLDNCBE (TFXL*C* TCXL NCBE)

it's also possible to identify letters which may have been written over with other letters (P written over with D)

Some T9 implementations feature smart punctuation. This feature allows the user to insert sentence and word punctuation using the '1'-key. Depending on the context, smart punctuation inserts sentence punctuation (period or 'full stop') or embedded punctuation (period or hyphen) or word punctuation (apostrophe in can't, won't, isn't, and the possessive 's). Depending on the language, T9 also supports word breaking after punctuation to support clitics such as l' and n' in French and 's in English.
For words entered by the user, word completion can be enabled. When the user enters matching keypresses, in addition to words and stems, the system also provides completions.
In later versions of T9, the user can select a primary and secondary language and access matches from both languages. This enables users to write messages in their native language, as well as a foreign one.
Some implementations learn commonly used word pairs and provide word prediction (e.g. if one often writes "eat food", after entering "eat" the phone will suggest "food", which can be confirmed by pressing Next).
T9 can automatically recognize and correct typing/texting errors, by looking at neighboring keys on the keypad to determine an incorrect keypress. For example, the word "testing" is entered with the key combination "8378464". Entering the same number but with two incorrect keypresses of neighboring keys, e.g. "8278494", results in T9 suggesting the words "tasting" (8278464), "testing" (8378464), and "tapping" (8277464).
