'''Alphabet Soup''' is the 120th level in [[Chip's Challenge 1]]. The level (thought of as a "pot of soup") is divided into nine "letters", each with a puzzle contained within its own 8x8 square. Most are quite hard, which places the rating at 4. [[Even step]] is necessary.

Circle around with the [[fireball]]s to the [[blue key]], enter the A from the right, then [[teleport]] from the south and dive out through the B's [[blue lock]] before the teeth can chase Chip. Go through the [[recessed wall]] and pick up the [[red key]], then throw the block 3U to direct the [[glider]] into the teleport, and slide >LD to skip all the way out to the G. Pick up the [[item]]s in this room, then slide >[RL [1] LRL] all the way to the D again. The glider will eventually be deflected by the [[pink ball]]s in the G room to shorten the path through the I; this is a special minor [[bust]] which will be found only by careful study.

As the [[teeth]] moves into the E, walk UL 2U 6R U 3D L (2D L 2D 2R) to two chips, then 2L to expose the yellow key. After this, teleport to E with a L slide, open the [[red lock]], and take the chip and [[green key]] under the block from the south. Continue to the F, take the four chips, and continue 4D [2] R 2U as the teeth escapes the [[trap]], collecting [[fire boots]] under the block. With this careful positioning, Chip can step through the trap just before the teeth un-releases it, and then slide >RLR to the I.

From its slide into the teleport here, the redirected glider ran 2L 7D across the [[brown button]]s and then 3R to its death; as a result, Chip is not required to divert to the west and release the [[tank]]s. Run through the [[toggle wall]] and [[green lock]], take the [[flippers]], and then swim to either yellow lock and walk to the exit.

The completion of this level reveals the next [[Decade message]]: ''If Chip's grades aren't as good as [[Melinda]]'s, maybe she'll come over to his house and help him study!''

== Trivia ==
