Each letter which appears in a Codeword puzzle is associated with a unique code number, and these numbers are displayed in the puzzle grid. To solve such a puzzle you must determine which letter is associated with each code.

The solution process is aided by a code table which consists of a number of cells with each cell containing one code number, plus space to enter the solution letter for that code. Three of these cells will contain a letter to get you started.
