Numbers with words are a type of wordplay in which numbers are represented by words or phrases. This type of wordplay is often used in crossword puzzles, where the clues for the answers are written in such a way that the answer can be determined by substituting the words for the numbers. For example, the answer to the clue 'Songs (5 letters)' could be 'TUNES' if the number 5 is represented by the word 'FIVE'.
