This is another variation of the crossword puzzle where the letters have been coded as numbers. In this game you are given a grid with the numbers 1-26 ( representing the letters of the alphabet ), you then solve that puzzle in a crossword style. In most coded square games you are also provided ( beneath the grid ) a coded solution box where you may fill in the letter-code combination as you solve the puzzle.

USEFUL TIPS/Strategies - (READ) -

  • Often grid clues ( such as X = 23,or Y =15 ) are provided, fill-in these first.


  • Letters that appear most often in common English language are vowels ( A, E, I, O, U ), search the grid for these next.

  • Look for double-letter combinations (LL, EE, OO are the most common).


  • Make an educated guess. For example assume you have the following: _ NOB , an appropriate guess might be :
    KNOB, or SNOB.

  • 5.. Raw "trial and error" : Like Word Fill-ins(or any other word game), the best policy is to use a mix of
    deduction and the exhaustive method, trying many possibilities until you come up with the correct solution.
