Feature to benefit
| Feature | Why it matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Topic-based puzzle generation | The puzzle can be shaped around the topic, words, or solving goal instead of a generic theme. | Use a focused prompt to create a Codeword that matches the session. |
| Codeword mechanics | The number-to-letter cipher grid format fits when the activity should center on deduction, repeated patterns, and cipher solving. | Recover the letter behind each number. Every repeated number uses the same letter, and starter letters are locked in place. |
| Online solve controls | Check, Reveal, and Reset support live solving, review rounds, and second attempts. | Use Check for progress, Reveal for answer review, and Reset for a clean replay. |
