about the 101 Codeword Puzzles

Let’s say you notice the number “18” shows up a lot. You might guess it’s an “E” (since E is used often in English). So, you write “E” in every square labeled “18,” and also fill in the “18 = E” box in the solution grid below the puzzle. From there, more letters start falling into place—and before you know it, you’ve cracked the code!

I hope you get as much enjoyment from these puzzles as I do. With three volumes available now, there’s plenty to keep your brain busy. In fact, I’ve even had folks ask for a fourth!

What Are Codeword Puzzles? A Fun History

Did you know codeword puzzles (also called Codebreakers or Code-Crackers) have been around for over a century? Yep—they’ve got a surprisingly cool backstory.

While it’s tricky to pin down their exact origin, codeword puzzles are closely tied to the world of secret codes and ciphers—think spies, espionage, and wartime intel. During World War II, code-breaking became a huge part of military strategy. And after the war, those same brain-twisting techniques made their way into puzzles for the rest of us to enjoy!

That challenge of cracking a hidden message? People couldn’t get enough of it. And boom—codeword puzzles were born as a fun, brainy way to pass the time.
