Also known as: Keywords, Codeword, Code cracker The goal of Keyword puzzles is to crack the code and show a standard crossword puzzle grid, where each word read across or down is a standard word. Unlike standard crosswords, proper names, words and acronyms are not allowed.
Each letter in the crossword puzzle is replaced by a number, and your goal as a solver is to determine which number corresponds to which original. All letters are in at least one place in the grid, so the code will have a unique solution. You can track your decision using the number below the mailboxes below the grid, and track the letters you have already decided using cross letters outside the grid.
Keywords are usually solved with a combination of skills and intuition. It is especially useful to look for sequences with two letters, as well as letters that often appear throughout the grid. Some initial trellised squares are also provided to help you get started.

How to solve Keyword (Keyword or puzzles AZ)
A-Z puzzles are a very interesting twist on a standard crossword puzzle.
In the puzzle A-Z, you are presented with a crossword puzzle grid with a difference. All the prompts have disappeared, and most of the letters are already filled! All you have to do is fill in the grid. To do this, you will notice that exactly 28 empty squares remain on the grid.
Each cell on the grid must be filled with a letter from AZ to fill in the actual crossword puzzle grid and thus complete the puzzle. Each letter from AZ must be placed exactly once in the grid, so there will be an “A” under one specific number that you need to place, then a “B” under a different number, and so on.
Of course, this is not so simple, as some letter patterns will have many possible solutions. Therefore, to solve the Keyword puzzle, the key skill that you will need to develop is to scan the grid and search for places where there is only one word that might be suitable, and then write it down. This will delete some letters, and therefore reduce the options for some other letter patterns that may have more than one possible word that fits.
Be aware of where the less common letters can go - for example, if the grid has a “U” with a space in front of it, then where is the “K” hiding? Also consider that the word ends with 'IN?' may well have a “T” instead of a question mark, although, of course, this is not necessarily the case.
Using your knowledge of common patterns in Russian, along with reducing options, placing words that have only one option and seeing which letters are left, you should be able to pave the way to the solution for each puzzle Keyword. We hope you enjoy this rather rare version of the crossword puzzle presented here on our website.
