Why I Love Codeword Puzzles

I absolutely LOVE solving Codeword puzzles. I do one every night—no joke! Funny thing is, you'd think they'd keep me awake, but they actually relax me. It's like a little mental unwind before bed.

So, what are Codeword puzzles exactly? They look like regular crosswords—but there are no verbal clues. Instead, each square has a number, and each number represents a different letter of the alphabet.

For example, say you notice that the number 18 appears a lot. You might guess that it stands for E (a common letter). If that’s your guess, go ahead and fill in an E anywhere you see an 18. Then, jot an E in the grid box labeled 18, just below the puzzle.

It’s a fun blend of logic, deduction, and vocabulary, and I hope you have hours of code-cracking fun! And hey—if you love these as much as I do, check out my three other volumes… people are already asking me to make more!

A Brief History of Codeword Puzzles

Did you know Codeword puzzles—also called Codebreakers or Code-Cracking puzzles—have roots that go back to the early 20th century? They became a favorite among puzzle lovers thanks to their unique blend of challenge, mystery, and logic.

While I don’t know their exact origin, they definitely remind me of older puzzles that involved cracking secret codes. Using numbers to represent letters likely stems from espionage and cryptography, where coded messages were common.

During World War II, code-breaking was vital to military intelligence. It’s no surprise that puzzles inspired by those efforts started appearing for recreational use. There’s something so satisfying about revealing a hidden message—and I think that’s why Codeword puzzles still capture our imaginations today.

Codeword Puzzles Through the Decades

Codeword puzzles have been around since at least the 1930s. They first appeared in magazines, newspapers, and early puzzle books as a fresh form of entertainment—and over time, they became a staple for puzzle lovers around the world.

Each Codeword puzzle is built around a grid of empty squares. Instead of traditional clues, you’re given a set of numbers, and each number stands in for a letter. Your job is to figure out which number matches which letter using logic, letter frequency, and pattern recognition.

It’s like solving a mystery with every puzzle—no two are ever quite the same, and that’s what keeps it so addictive!

What Makes Codewords So Addictive?

My Codeword puzzles offer a fun twist on traditional crosswords or word searches. They blend logic, deduction, and vocabulary skills into one addictive brain game. If you love a good challenge, you’ll feel right at home here.

Codeword puzzles give your brain a real workout while still feeling playful and engaging. There’s something so satisfying about cracking the code and revealing the full picture—one letter at a time.

Today, these puzzles continue to capture imaginations all over the world. Whether you’re solving in a book, a magazine, or online, it’s a rewarding way to test your wits and unwind at the same time.

Keep Your Brain Busy—And Have Fun Doing It!

Puzzles aren’t just entertainment—they’re a great way to exercise your brain. With large print, logical clues, and a bonus bookmark to help you track your progress, my 101 Codeword Puzzles book delivers the perfect mix of challenge and fun.
