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.

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?

Overall it's a good game but there's a lot of room for improvement such as updates to the icons, images and general feel of the game and turning it into a TRUE offline game. At the moment it checks for a licence when opening it the first time. An option to export your progress to a local file would also be helpful as well as swapping the unstarted puzzle red "X" for perhaps a gray dash since it looks like the puzzle has errors in it at first glance.

A great computer version of codewords. Easier to play than with pen and ink, but as fun and great brain training. I have a few teazel puzzles and generally like the way they play: you can check how you are going. Without paying for it. They seem to specialise in word games and do them well. It's a really good way to play codewords.
