About Codeword Unlimited +

Codeword Unlimited is an application to play the popular word game known as Codeword (also known as Cipher crosswords).

For those unfamiliar with Codeword puzzles, they provide a grid of words, similar to a normal crossword, but with no clues, rather a few initially provided letters, and a number in each square in the gird to indicate its (as yet unknown) letter. All boxes with the same number must use the same letter. From that information and the few initially provided letters it is possible to work out which words will fit in the boxes. Hence you are decoding (or decyphering) 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 the keyboard).

Feature list:
1) Unlimited number of codewords!! They are created on-the-fly using the application's advanced generator engine and it's built-in word list.
2) The player decides the number of rows and columns (from 3 to 20). This allows the game to be suitable for all kinds of mobile-phones and tablets.
3) Difficultly level can be specified by the user, which determines the pool of words the generator will use. The larger the pool the greater the difficulty. There is even an early learner mode with a limited number of words, aimed at children and English language learners. 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 the same letter is used in that grid (i.e. has the same number to decipher). This is really handy and of course not possible when doing codewords in a magazine.
5) If a game is too difficult, the application provides two useful tools to help you (see below).
6) For any word in the grid for which all squares are assigned to letters, Codeword Unlimited will highlight if that word is NOT an allowed 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 more comfortable to play.
8) The definition of a completed word can be viewed. This is useful if 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 of downloadable dictionaries. 26 languages are currently available (see below).
10) Can be played in portrait or landscape mode. Just rotate your device and the display adjusts automatically.
11) Game contains achievements integrated into Google Play's "Game Services".

Other similar applications want you to pay for more Codewords, but this game provides you with endless puzzles, all for free!!

Each game is assigned a difficulty level from 0 (easy) to 9 (very hard). The difficulty level is determined by the settings. Each difficulty level maintains the high scores (measured by fastest time to complete the game). The game displays the best 20 scores for each difficulty level.
Compare your high scores with others around the world by using Google Play's "Game Services".

If the player is in difficulty, the application provides two very useful aids. (1) The game can provide another decoded letter. (2) The game can show you potential answers for an uncompleted word. The game uses the letters that you have already decoded and displays the matching words.

Dictionaries available are English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Polish, Norwegian, Romanian, Serbian(Latin), Serbian(Cyrillic), Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and more coming later

I love it.

K70%
by K####:

This is a great way to kill some time and exercise your brain at the same time. It's easy to adjust the difficulty level to find your own comfort zone. And you can always get a hint if necessary (but with a time penalty). I come back to this game often.

I70%
by I####:

Challenging fun. Personally, I play a couple of games every morning to get my brain warmed up and it is a favourite on train journeys and to accompany a pint in a quiet pub. Just one question, what does the Sequential setting do?

K70%
by K####:

Annoying constant requests for unnecessary permissions.

Y70%
by Y####:

The advantages of playing codewords on the phone rather than on paper are that once you have guessed a letter you don't have to go through and fill in all occurrences of that letter, it is quick to make corrections and it's a whole lot cheaper! The only thing missing is the ability to reset the high scores but as their tech team kindly explained you can reset the data for the app in android. I still do them on paper too but less :-)

Y70%
by Y####:

Works well, better than codewords on paper, tests your knowledge of words and their typical 'shapes' - excellent.

I play this to keep my old brain sharp. Love it.

Great word game

R70%
by R####:

Brilliant...Unlike 'Scrabble' that is an example on how not to treat people...wrong, nonexistant words, 30 second adverts, repeated during a game, etc. Mattel should throw these people out. It does nothing but harm their reputation!

M70%
by M####:

I like the fact that it uses some rare or obsolete words , at the higher levels, it keeps the game interesting. I don't like the use of word that are simply foreign. Occasionally it can't find definitions of its own words in its own dictionary.

Very impressed with this word puzzle. It's easy to use and the difficulty levels are well thought out. Occasionally, some words with American spellings creep in, but they are all grist to the mill.
