What is la charada?

[Julio88]

La Charada is a Cuban lottery system that translates many common words into numbers . Players using La Charada select their numbers to play by looking up specific words in a book or chart that assigns a number to each word . This system has been used in Cuba since the 19th century and is still popular today. The numbers range from 1-100, and each number has a unique meaning associated with it. For example, the number “1” is associated with “water”, while the number “2” is associated with “fire”. Players use this system to predict which numbers will come up in the lottery.
