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.
NEW: Expert mode removes all starter letters for players who want the ultimate challenge.
