Codenames is an easy party game to solve puzzles. The game is divided into red and blue, each side has a team leader, the team leader's goal is to lead their team to the final victory. At the beginning of the game, there will be 25 cards on the table with different words. Each card has a corresponding position, representing different colors. Arkadium's Codeword All alphabetical letters make one or more appearance in the grid and are represented by the exact same number wherever they appear throughout the grid. To help you get started, a few letters are revealed before the game starts.
Codewords is a fun game with simple rules, and a great test of your knowledge of the English language.
Every number in the codewords grid is 'code' for a letter of the alphabet. Thus the number '2' may correspond to the letter 'L', for instance.
All - except our Difficult codeword puzzles - come with a few letters to start you off. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. Thus, if the letter 'S' is in the pink box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find a cell numbered '2' in the grid and enter the letter 'S'.
Whenever you enter a letter in the codewords grid, all cells with that number will automatically update to save you manually finding-and-replacing all cells with that value. The pink boxes will also update automatically with your placed letter, and the list of letters A - Z at the bottom of the codeword page will update with a line-through the letter you just entered to cross it off.
At times you may make mistakes whilst solving a codeword! If you think these mistakes can't be repaired, then click 'Reset Grid' at the bottom, or if you really give up, click 'View Solution'.
For more minor mistakes whilst solving codewords, you can correct these on the player. For instance, if you entered 'R' for number 3, and now think it should really be a 'T' not an 'R', simply update one of the cells now containing 'R' with 'T'. All occurrences of 'R' on the grid will update to 'T'. The pink boxes will update accordingly, and the line-through 'R' will be removed and 'T' become crossed off instead.
Sometimes you might realise that you have placed a letter incorrectly on the codeword grid, but are not sure what the correct letter is. Imagine you thought number 3 represented 'R', but now think that can't be the case, but aren't sure what letter 3 really is the code for. In this instance, simply replace any instance of 'R' on the grid with the number 3. All 'R' cells will revert back to 3, and the letter 'R' will be removed from the pink box corresponding to the number 3 at the bottom of the page. The letter 'R' in the list of letters at the bottom of the page will also have the line through the letter removed.
In this way, entirely through using the codeword grid, you can solve all our codeword puzzles. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1 - 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid. Once satisfied with your answer, click 'View Solution' to ensure that you got it right!

Codeword Unlimited is an application to play the popular word game known as Codeword (also known as Cipher crosswords)
For those unfamiliar with Codeword puzzles, they provide a grid of words, similar to a normal crossword, but with no clues, rather a few initially provided letters, and a number in each square in the gird to indicate its (as yet unknown) letter. All boxes with the same number must use the same letter. From that information and the few initially provided letters it is possible to work out which words will fit in the boxes. Hence you are decoding (or decyphering) the numbers into letters to reveal the hidden words. Usually all 26 letters of the alphabet are used in the codeword, although not always (and unused letters appear crossed out in the keyboard).
Feature list:
1) Unlimited number of codewords!! They are created on-the-fly using the application's advanced generator engine and it's built-in word list.
2) The player decides the number of rows and columns (from 3 to 20). This allows the game to be suitable for all kinds of mobile-phones and tablets.
3) Difficultly level can be specified by the user, which determines the pool of words the generator will use. The larger the pool the greater the difficulty. There is even an early learner mode with a limited number of words, aimed at children and English language learners. The number of starting letters can also be specified. Higher scores can be obtained with more difficult codewords.
4) When a player touches a box, all boxes with the same number are highlighted.
5) For any word in the grid for which all squares are assigned to letters, Codeword Unlimited will highlight if that word is NOT an allowed word in the word list it uses to generate its codewords. This helps you when you have mistakes in your current assignments (saving you lots of time and frustration!).
6) The game will show the player if a completed word is wrong (is not in its word list).
7) An on-screen keyboard means it is much easier and more comfortable to play.
8) The definition of a completed word can be viewed. This is useful if you do not know it, or you are learning a foreign language (internet connection required).
9) Choose the language of the word list, from a large range of downloadable dictionaries. 24 languages are currently available (see below).
10) Can be played in portrait or landscape mode. Just rotate your device and the display adjusts automatically.

Each game is assigned a difficulty level from 0 (easy) to 9 (very hard). The difficulty level is determined by the settings. Each difficulty level maintains the high scores (measured by fastest time to complete the game). The game displays the best 20 scores for each difficulty level.
If the player is in difficulty, the application provides two very useful aids. (1) The game can provide another decoded letter. (2) The game can show you potential answers for an uncompleted word. The game uses the letters that you have already decoded and displays the matching words.
