Codeword FAQ
Everything you need to know about playing Codeword on Smotix.
What is Codeword?
Codeword is a word puzzle where every letter of the alphabet (A-Z) is replaced by a unique number from 1 to 26. There are no word clues or definitions; you solve the puzzle by deciphering the number code.
How does Daily Codeword work?
Every day at midnight UTC, a new official Daily Codeword is generated using a date seed. Players globally compete on the exact same board to build daily streaks and compare completion times.
Are solution quotes hidden securely?
Yes! Smotix strictly enforces a Zero-Exposure Security Policy. Answers and number keys are encrypted using server-side AES-256 tokens. Plaintext solutions are never sent to your browser console or network requests until you complete the puzzle or press Solve.
What are starter letters?
When a Codeword puzzle loads, 1 to 3 numbers are pre-revealed with their actual plain letters to give you an anchor foothold to begin deciphering!
Can I play unlimited practice codewords?
Yes, you can play infinite practice codewords across Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels.
