A Pilgrim Light Press puzzle series

Beacon Codewords

Codewords are crosswords with the clues stripped away — every letter hides behind a number, and a handful of starter letters are all you get. Use logic and vocabulary to crack the cipher and fill the grid, one clean deduction at a time. No trivia, no obscure clue conventions.

Every puzzle in the series is original, built around real, meaningful words with exactly one solution — satisfying but never frustrating. All you need is a pencil and a few quiet minutes.

In every volume

  • Original codeword puzzles, each with one unique solution
  • Starter letters that ease you in, with difficulty that climbs as you go
  • Solvable by logic alone — no guessing, no trivia
  • A complete answer key
