About this game

Codeword puzzles to keep you busy during coffee break.
This full version has 1000+ complete puzzles.

Codewords are crossword puzzles with a twist - there are no clues.

Instead, each letter A-Z is represented by a random number 1-26, with the same number representing the same letter throughout the puzzle.

All you have to do is decide which letter is represented by which number.

For example, all the 1's may be T's, all the 2's E's and so on. You are given some letters to help start off. All the letters A-Z are present in the early puzzles, with one number for each letter (later puzzles don't necessarily have all 26 letters in the grid).

The codewords grid is displayed in full. If you are really stuck then you can reveal a letter. A great way to while away your commute!

Features:
- zooming grid
- cheats and answer checking
- landscape mode


Levels of difficulty:

- Easy puzzles have commonly used words, and words are repeated regularly through the pack. The 'given' or starter letters are also carefully selected to make the first word or two easier to work out.

- Medium puzzles generally have fewer repeated words throughout the pack, and some puzzles don't have all 26 letters represented, so for example Q, X and Z are often crossed off because they don't appear in that puzzle. (Excluding those uncommon letters allows us to use a greater range of words, and thus less word repeats throughout the pack.)

- Harder puzzles have less common words, names, abbreviations, initials, multi-words, plurals, US and UK spellings, and often less starter letters. In fact, all the tricks in the book to make them a little more challenging.

Codewords is also known as Enigma Code, Code Breaker, Cipher crosswords, Code Crackers and Kaidoku.

If you're after a different challenge, try our Crossword apps - casual, cryptic, spiral and US style versions are all available.

Ratings and reviews

Fun and challenging game. Some things to keep in mind though: 1) It uses both American and British spellings (liter, litre) 2) It uses proper nouns, names and places 3) It uses contractions (you've, can't) Keeping that in mind, it's challenging, fun, and a good way to pass some free time. One question for the developers: If I click on Check Grid before I enter anything (on a new puzzle) it says I have none right, and "Not a Sausage". Huh?

Great game! This is the 2nd time I've bought it. The first purchase was spread around all my other devices, 4 phones & 2 Fires, over the years. I've played through the whole thing a number of times, too. I like it so much I had no problem buying it again. They're a good team, I e-mailed them questioning the spelling of a word and they got back to me! Turns out it was a British spelling of the word. GREAT GAME

I have just started playing this game, and started on the medium level. I haven't tried the hard yet; I am saving it to enjoy more, as I find the medium way too easy. If I hadn't purchased the game I would have just started out on the hard level, but I don't want to go through the games too quickly. I will review again, once I start playing the hard level. 🙂
