Clues

1. Just like the order of words in a sentence matters, the three digits in the code go from smallest to largest (left to right).
2. Every digit in the code is an even number — just like every word in a sentence has an even number of letters in 'The dog runs' (try counting: The=3? Nope! This is a code trick — all three digits are even: 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).
3. The last digit is 6 — just like a verb is the last part of speech introduced in 'The dog runs' (article → noun → verb). The third slot holds the number 6.
4. A sentence needs all its parts of speech to be complete. Add all three digits together and you get 12 — the total sum of the code.
5. Zero is absent from the code — just like a sentence can't have zero words! The digit 0 does not appear anywhere in the code.
