I have a lock that has combination digits 00-99. There is a representation scheme for the combination using 6 character words. each letter represented by a number (like on a phone). Is there a name for this letter representation?

Shift cypher. At least that's what comes to mind. Maybe substitution cypher. It's been about 30 years since I was interested in codes and cyphers.
The more I think about it, substitution cypher is closer to what you describe.
Hmmm.. i know what you mean, but when i think substitution cipher, i think of encryption. THis is more of a memorization scheme.
sounds more like ya got too much free time. but what do I really know ?
Mnemonics?
What are some examples of the system's representation?; ie name about 5 or so 2 digit numbers and their corresponding 6 letter words.
