Introducing new Clue Detective Codeword book series!

Clue Detective is very excited to announce the launch of its series of codeword puzzles which are now available for sale in the Lulu Bookstore.

Codewords are a fascinating blend of crosswords and code cracking! There are no crossword clues – instead you have to crack a code by studying the numerical patterns to fill in the crossword grid.

Solving these puzzles is an engaging and enjoyable activity, with many unexpected benefits. You will feel like a detective solving a case and a morphologist studying the patterns of words which will greatly help you boost your vocabulary and general knowledge. They are also beneficial for improving mental health and alleviating anxiety.
