Codeword
Codeword is a crossword with no clues. Every letter of the alphabet is replaced by a number from 1 to 26, and a few letters are given to start you off. Work out which letter each number stands for until every word in the grid is complete. It is also known as a code cracker or cipher crossword.
How to play
- Tap a square to select its number: every square with that number lights up.
- Type a letter, or tap a letter key, to place it everywhere that number appears.
- Use the words taking shape to crack the remaining numbers. Each letter belongs to exactly one number.
Questions
Is Codeword free?
Yes. Codeword is free to play in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no download or sign-up.
How is a codeword different from a crossword?
A crossword gives you clues. A codeword gives you none: every letter is hidden behind a number, and you solve it by spotting letter patterns in the words.
Is there a new Codeword every day?
Yes. Codeword is one of the Daily Puzzles, and its levels keep going after that, growing larger and giving fewer letters away.
