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.

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. 🙂

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

Great little game. Just needs a next game button, to save navigating back to list of puzzles and maybe have the completed games show at bottom of list so you don't need to keep scrolling to find next puzzle. An optional extra might be a link to a dictionary as some words are quite obscure.

Although I really enjoy this game. It could be improved by not having to go back every time you win. Need a next game "button". The most irritating thing of all is the fact that every time you go on to play a new game, you have to choose the pack, click on it, then scroll down to the next game. Surely it would be easy to remember where I was last and open up onto the next game. Also a timer would be fab 🤞🏻

Update: The developer has contacted me and is going to do another update to choose blue, red or green crosses. I'm so impressed - thank you so much! Original review: My 93 yr-old dad loved this game until the recent update. The change to blue crosses on the keyboard, has made it difficult for him to see the letters under the crosses. He has memory problems so likes to see all the letters. Please can you change the crosses back to the original red colour or an option to choose? Thanks!
