Codewords Pro – Puzzle Game Review
Codewords Pro is a Puzzle/Entertainment/Word game from Emmanuel Mathis, first launched in 2nd September 2016.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 247+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Codewords Pro Stand Out
Codewords Pro is an app to play Codewords, a popular word game similar to crosswords. It features several hundred free puzzles as well as 2 daily puzzles.
Codewords puzzles are similar to crosswords, but instead of clues, each letter has been replaced by a number from 1 to 26, and you need to figure out which letter each number represents.
Features :
- Several levels of difficulty, from beginner to very hard
- A mix of grid styles : american, french, italian, … (the difference is in the way the black squares are placed)
- 2 new puzzles every day
- Several languages available
- Many settings to customize the features and the look and feel of the grid
- Playable with VoiceOver
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We purchased this game for our grandmother last year. Her iPad died and she got a replacement and today when we were visiting she told us how much she missed it. There are other codewords games out there but none are of this quality. The add-on pack used to not be in an app purchase. So its unfortunate we had to re-buy it since it would not restore. But its worth it for her enjoyment. There are a few games that she loves.
There should be a paid option to remove obnoxious ads. Otherwise great design and entertaining.
The UI is nice, but there are so many questionable words (proper nouns, words that only are meaningful used with other words, non-english words).
Love the options of difficulty levels which makes the puzzles challenging! Lots of Codewords to play, including the 2 daily puzzles. Well done.
