About Codeword (Daily Mail)
Codeword is one of about thirty puzzles on the Daily Mail games page, free in the browser with ads. Each one opens on a start screen that carries the day's date, and every reader gets the same puzzle that day.
There are no clues in a codeword. The grid is filled with numbers from 1 to 26, each standing for a different letter of the alphabet, and a couple of letters are revealed to start you off. As you guess letters, they appear everywhere their number does, so each correct guess opens up new words.
The puzzle opens behind the Daily Mail's consent screen, where you either accept personalised ads or buy an ad-free subscription. It suits readers who like a codeword with their news and want a fresh one every day.
