Hours of fun with our Cipher crosswords, a word puzzles with hidden quote!
The Cipher crosswords puzzles, is a fun word puzzles, invented in Germany in the 19th century.
A cipher crossword (code words), replaces the clues for each entry, with clues for each white cell of the grid – an integer from 1 to 26 inclusive is printed in the corner of each.
The objective, as any other code-word crossword, is to determine the proper letter for each cell; in a cipher crossword, the 26 numbers serve as a cipher for those letters: cells that share matching numbers are filled with matching letters, and no two numbers stand for the same letter. A
ll resultant entries must be valid words. Usually, at least one number's letter is given at the outset.
English-language cipher crosswords are nearly always programmatic (all letters of the alphabet appear in the solution). As these puzzles are closer to codes than quizzes, they require a different skill set; many basic cryptographic techniques, such as determining likely vowels, are key to solving these. Given their programmatic, a frequent start point is locating where 'Q' and 'U' must appear.
