About this game

Love crosswords? Try codewords — the addictive puzzle where every letter is hidden behind a number code. No clues, no hints, just pure logic and word knowledge.

Each letter A-Z is replaced by a number 1-26. The same number always represents the same letter. Your job: crack the code and reveal the full grid of words.

Start free with 47 complete puzzles, then unlock 1000+ with a single in-app purchase.

HOW TO PLAY
A few starter letters are given to get you going. Look for patterns — common letters appear frequently, rare letters like Q and Z only once or twice. Double letters, word endings, and short words are all valuable clues.

Ratings and reviews

This is a perfect word game. I love having different levels. The levels have the perfect amount of difficulty between them. It's such a great game for passing time but I also just find it fun. there are actually a Lot of puzzles! I was looking for a good cryptogram game and what a gem I found instead. I think the only thing to take this game to the next level would be to be able to see the meanings of words we don't know in the game. It isn't necessary though. Would recommend!

When I first opened the game I was like ohhh there is no way! I guessed a few letters got frustrated and gave up. The next night i suggested it to my son and i opened it and it was like it hit me in the face! I instantly saw a few words and it just took off. After then I've been going none stop, I'm up to only 1 letter being given as a hint (yea still on easy level). If you want a challenge, but it's fun give this game a try!

Challenging but enjoyable, once I played a few times. I almost deleted it because I didn't understand how to begin. When I figured out that there are some words that cannot be anything else, then the remaining ones finally reveal themselves, albeit painfully at times. I'm not the smartest guy but I like traditional crossword puzzles (on easy mode) and I know these kind of games help me expand my vocabulary. Give it a chance, you might be smarter than you think!
