How to Solve a Codewords Crossword Puzzle From Penny Press

As a teacher and literacy advocate, I like to help people discover ways to keep their brain healthy and have fun learning at the same time. The Penny Press Variety Puzzles magazine does the trick.

In this video, the Penny Press Puzzle Lady, aka Linda M. Mitchell, , I will be showing you how to do one of my favorite types of crossword puzzles from the magazine. The Codeword puzzle is interesting because the clues are not given in words but in numbered boxes and letters. This video contains a lot of bloopers since I am a novice at recording and editing, but, hopefully, you can follow along and understand how to solve the puzzle. You can view some earlier videos I posted with step-by-step instructions. I have also provided a link to a FREE GUIDE to solving Codewords. Get ready for some good, cheap fun. And I do mean cheap compared to other brain boosting programs. One issue of a Penny Press Variety puzzles magazine can cost only $5 and it can last for days, weeks or months.

You can pick up a copy of the Penny Press Variety Puzzles magazines at most drugstores and bookstores. For more information about Penny Dell Press Variety magazines or to have puzzles sent to your computer, visit

This tutorial is a nice change of pace from the usual crossword puzzle. Sorry about the bloopers, but good job overall.

I have one of these to solve that has no given letters, and I've been feeling pretty intimidated by that, but your tips have me feeling better prepared to take it on. Thanks!
