Astraware CodeWords

Astraware CodeWords is an addictive word game with a difference! You start with a crosswords style grid but instead of words, each codeword letter has been substituted with a number from 1 to 26. It is up to you to figure out which number stands for each letter in the cipher!
There are no clues but 3 letters are already in place to help you get started and each letter of the alphabet is used at least once. You start by guessing possible words and matching numbers with letters, until you've fully cracked the code
- and your vocabulary and logical reasoning will be stretched along the way!

Did you know that the letter 'e' is the most commonly used letter in English? Did you know that 'th' is the most common pair of letters to be seen together? You'll use this knowledge and more as you make your guesses and work out the words!

Astraware CodeWords gives you access to play our free Daily puzzles
- top the global leaderboard by completing the puzzle in the fastest time! For an extra challenge there is a Weekender puzzle available each Friday with a trickier grid and more unusual words.


- Unlimited access to our two Daily puzzles and Weekender puzzle.
- A collection of 50 built-in puzzles in various sizes and difficulties, perfect for beginners and avid players
- New endless puzzle streams
- watch ads (or take short surveys) then play the puzzles you like!
- Intuitive interface
- Highlighting to show where you've chosen the same letter for different numbers
- Option to fill in letters manually, or choose auto to fill in all occurrences of that letter at once
- Save slots available to have several puzzles on the go at once, so you can stop for a break and come back to a puzzle later
- Option to purchase extra value puzzle packs for offline play

Wow, this game is awesome. I play it in my spare time and boy is it addictive!!! I'm loving it.

Absolutely fantastic app! By far the best codeword app out there. The only 2 things that could improve it would be a bold font for the letters so that it is easier to see, and a solutions grid for each puzzle so that you can see the full solutions in one go without needing to use hints (this would be ideal for people who want to check their answers manually at the end all in one go). But these are just minor improvements, the app is brilliant and I am thankful for you making it free to download!

It's pretty nice. Not everyone playing this has young eyes. Need bolder letters on the keyboard. Also the puzzle grid is hard to read. Higher contrast and a more readable letter font would be a huge improvement. Reduce the margins and it could be larger. For some reason I couldn't enter my name with Swiftkey keyboard, so I had to switch to Samsung keyboard. Finally, I like how casual players can earn credits to play, and avid players can pay a reasonably priced subscription. Overall, I recommend it, if you have good enough eyesight.

Truly excellent, and VERY addictive game!! This is the best word game I've found in a long time. It's fun and challenging, but not impossible. The only issue I have is the building up of coins to play non-daily puzzles... I would Love to just play the game, and not have to watch 10 videos. I just don't have enough time to do both. Otherwise, this game is GREAT, and I highly recommend!!

Seems like a pretty decent app but the numbers are too small for my middle-aged eyes to see without strain - this interferes with my enjoyment of the game so I tend to open the app, take one look at the grid with the tiny numbers and close it again because I don't want to have to work that hard to play. There seems to be a decent amount of space in the margins that could be used to make the grid big enough for the numbers to be more easily readable. I'm kinda surprised this hasn't been done yet.

I love this app, however it would be great if the game has the ability to make the letters on the grids bigger by zooming in. Right now I'm finding it difficult to focus on the letters in the puzzle, even though I wear glasses.

Despite great gameplay, controls and graphics, I am giving this game one star. You cannot play if you don't have stamps. There are some free puzzles available, but daily puzzles need stamps. And in that context, this is a pay to play game.

Good way to pass half an hour and give your brain a workout. A few words I have never heard of before like SLAKING? Will have to look to look that one up...unless this is USA spelling of slacking?...never checked the developer lol...it's still a good game and easy to play and I do recommend it.

Well made puzzle. The only thing that I would add is the ability to quickly check word definitions especially of the more obscure.

Dia. T. Oct 25, 2018     

Thanks for fixing it! I really like this game. I'm getting a blank screen and I paid the month. I unistalled and reinstalled. Same problem.

Ann. A. Feb 7, 2022     

Have now deleted as the numbers are not clear enough despite being on max font. If the cab fix that I'll reinstall

The puzzles are fine. The pro version doesn't give more daily puzzles.

Dav. F. Oct 9, 2018     

The best thing I like about this one is the good use of English (not American) spellings and words.

Jon. D. Jun 7, 2019     

puzzles are good but constantly running out of stamps

M. M. Apr 5, 2019     

too many ads. irrelevant for the game and annoying

Den. S. Aug 26, 2019     

Easy to use. Challenging puzzles.

Ann. S. Nov 24, 2018

Don. R. Sep 18, 2018     

Can be challenging.

Val. D. Feb 19, 2020     

I like the daily challenges...good brain stuff

Don. H. Nov 6, 2018     

Since correcting a recent update which prevented getting into the codeword it has worked perfectly. It now gets to 5 stars.

A. G. u. Jul 18, 2018     

Not quite as easy as it looks. I like competing with other players whereas some games you compete with a computer. What fun is that?
