Astraware CodeWords is an addictive word game with a difference! You start with a crosswords style grid but instead of words, each codeword letter has been substituted with a number from 1 to 26. It is up to you to figure out which number stands for each letter in the cipher!

There are no clues but 3 letters are already in place to help you get started and each letter of the alphabet is used at least once. You start by guessing possible words and matching numbers with letters, until you’ve fully cracked the code – and your vocabulary and logical reasoning will be stretched along the way!

Did you know that the letter ‘e’ is the most commonly used letter in English? Did you know that ‘th’ is the most common pair of letters to be seen together? You’ll use this knowledge and more as you make your guesses and work out the words!
