I absolutely love solving codeword puzzles. I solve one every night—it relaxes me! Funny, right? You’d expect puzzles to keep you awake, but they actually help me unwind.
I always tell people: codeword puzzles look just like a regular crossword. So what’s the difference? Instead of verbal clues, you get numbers in each square.
Here’s how I tackle them: I watch for frequently repeating letters—like “E.” If I think “18” might represent “E,” I plug in an “E” wherever I see the number 18 in the puzzle. Then I write “E” in the numbered grid box below the puzzle to keep track.
I hope you enjoy hours of code-cracking fun! And yes—there are now three volumes available.
