NumberThink is a learning aid for the Major System, which is a well-known technique for remembering numbers by associating them with words. In the Major System, each digit of a number is associated with a sound (not a letter). If the sounds form words, then you just need to remember the words to remember the numbe

The Quick Reference screen lists the sounds associated with each number. Note that numbers are only associated with consonant sounds, so vowel sounds can be freely added between the consonant sounds to form words. For example, if you want to remember the number 91, you could simply remember the word "bat".

NumberThink helps you learn the Major System in two ways:

  • To help you learn how to form words from numbers, you can enter a number and touch "Go" to see a word associated with that number.
  • To help you learn how to figure out the number associated with a word, you can shake the app and it will choose a word that you must figure out the number for.
