Clues are available to help you solve the codewords, figuring out which letter of the alphabet is represented by numbers in the crossword, but be careful, because each clue will take a minute off your target time. This is a seriously good way to pass time, but watch out - you might get hooked on it! There are 4 levels from 'easy' to 'impossible' (you'll need to get clues for these ones) and the target times increase with the difficulty. Challenge yourself to beat the clock and watch your points tally grow. Or you may prefer to switch off the clock - it's up to you.
