SOLVE THE CLUES. DECODE THE WORDS. REVEAL THE SECRET. ClueCipher is a word cipher game that blends crossword-style clues, cryptograms and logic into one satisfying brain challenge. Read a clue, find the answer and use its letters to decode a hidden message, one word at a time. Can you crack the cipher? SOLVE WORD CLUES Every round begins with a collection of clues. Think carefully, find the right words and fill in your answers. Each word you solve gives you more information to work with, so every correct answer moves you closer to the final solution. DECODE THE CIPHER Your answers are all connected. Match letters and numbers, spot the hidden connections and use what you've already solved to uncover the words you're missing.
