Description
Challenge yourself with word and number puzzles.
The Times Codeword 17 offers 200 brand new compelling and addictive word and number puzzles from The Times. Appearing daily in the newspaper, Codeword is the cracking alternative to Su Doku and Crosswords.
The concept is simple: each number represents a letter. Starting with the solved letters, use your logic and vocabulary to reveal more letters, form words, and then crack the code! The most difficult puzzles for top solvers contain no solved letters, so you need to employ all your logical strategies to crack those.
The Codeword series is popular because you don’t need any prior knowledge, unlike a crossword. You can just pick up a pen and start puzzling. It steadily increases your vocabulary as the difficulty slowly grows as you progress through the book, and even though you’ll be working your brain, it’s the perfect way to unwind.
