Codeword 6.0.3
Codeword is an application to play the popularword game known as codewords in puzzle magazines (also known asCipher crosswords or Cyptograms). This game uses US Englishspellings.For those unfamiliar with Codeword puzzles, they provide a grid ofwords, similar to a normal crossword, but with no clues, rather afew initially provided letters, and a number in each square in thegird to indicate its (as yet unknown) letter. All boxes with thesame number must use the same letter. From that information and thefew initially provided letters it is possible to work out whichwords will fit in the boxes. Hence you are decoding (ordecyphering) the numbers into letters to reveal the hidden words.Usually all 26 letters of the alphabet are used in the codeword,although not always (and unused letters appear crossed out in thekeyboard). It is fun, challenging, and a real brain teaser.Feature list:1) Unlimited number of codewords!! They are created on-the-flyusing the application's advanced generator engine and it's built-inword list.2) The player decides the number of rows and columns (from 3 to20). This allows the game to be suitable for all kinds ofmobile-phones and tablets.3) Difficultly level can be specified by the user, which determinesthe pool of words the generator will use. The larger the pool thegreater the difficulty. There is even an early learner mode with alimited number of words, aimed at children and English languagelearners. The number of starting letters can also be specified.Higher scores can be obtained with more difficult codewords.4) Selecting a square in the grid will highlight all places thesame letter is used in that grid (i.e. has the same number todecipher). This is really handy and of course not possible whendoing codewords in a magazine.5) If a game is too difficult, the application provides two usefultools to help you (see below).6) For any word in the grid for which all squares are assigned toletters, Codeword Unlimited will highlight if that word is NOT anallowed word in the word list it uses to generate its codewords.This helps you when you have mistakes in your current assignments(saving you lots of time and frustration!).7) An on-screen keyboard means it is much easier and morecomfortable to play.8) The definition of a completed word can be viewed. This is usefulif you do not know it, or you are learning a foreign language(internet connection required).9) Choose the language of the word list, from a large range ofdownloadable dictionaries. 26 languages are currently available(see below).10) Can be played in portrait or landscape mode.
