The Times Codeword: 150 cracking logic puzzles (The Times Puzzle Books)

These games are great if you love crossword puzzles and words themselves. They are very tricky. Each puzzle is set up like a crossword puzzle, and uses all 26 letters. The squares have numbers in them, and by matching the numbers with a letter, you can solve the puzzle. I found it hard at first, but the more you complete, the more familiar you become with generalized uses of letters, and that helps solve the puzzle. They provide you with a few letters to start with, and then you complete the rest as you try to figure out which words correspond to the given letters.

Thought the puzzles were engaging, even the easy ones. The only regret is the paper quality of the pages. The type of paper used is newsprint which smudges a bit.

I really enjoy these puzzles. I wish the book were spiral bound. It would be easier to keep open. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible. These are probably not for a beginning codewords solver.

The puzzles are good and fun to solve. The only issue I have with it so far is that the paper used is very thin. Using just a pencil, and applying the standard amount of pressure one does whilst writing, the backside of the paper, along with the next 2 (two) pages front and back have imprints of the letters I wrote in on a prior puzzle. Be advised of that and adjust accordingly; probably not a good idea to use a pen either, I’d imagine the ink would bleed straight through.

I am a BIG fan of code words. These can't be found in stores every where. Not quite crossword, not quite sudoku. A game in it's own league! match each letter to the corresponding number from 1-26. Each puzzle has a different number.

I have gotten tired of sudoku and crossword puzzles. Codeword puzzles are the perfect transition. Thank you. These volumes from The Times of London are excellent for the novice, ranging from easy to more difficult to hard. They will exercise your mind.

I'm totally addicted to these puzzles and probably always will be. So once I have finished this set, I will be back.

I'm a big fan of code word puzzles, This one is small enough to fit in my purse and I can take it with me wherever. Has come in handy several times, ie, Dr's office, while waiting for a table to become available in a busy restaurant, etc. Thoroughly enjoying it.

These times codewords are very well written.

Same words used in several puzzles. No challenge at all even in the "difficult" ones. Good size. Book difficult to hold open with one hand

I do one of these each night before sleep to clear my head. They are the best versions I have found to date and offer a decent challenge without too many weird and wonderful creative words turning up. Very good value for so many opportunities to entertain.

Wow!

A book of Times Codewords, does exactly what it says on the cover. Great for passing time on the train.
