Discover the Benefits of Crack the Codeword
Many people would agree there is always something mysterious about a coded message. When you try Clue Detective Crack the Codeword puzzles, you will discover that they are a fantastic blend of solving crosswords and cracking a code. The first thing you need to get used to is that there aren’t the conventional crossword clues you are used to. Instead, the grid has a random, inbuilt number/letter code that you must decipher to fill in the grid. Every puzzle has a new code, so you may have the same words, but they are in disguise every time. It allows you to build your vocabulary, learn new words and revise familiar ones.
Solve Crack the Codeword Puzzles
When you see a “crack the codeword” puzzle for the first time, there is always an air of intrigue and impossibility about it. Your challenge is to learn how to analyse and convert the numerical patterns into letters using the starter letter/s provided. From there, your main tools are your own vocabulary and knowledge of the structure of the English language which will enable you to crack the code and decipher all the words in the grid.
