Today
Your daily puzzle is ready.
Correct tile: 5 XP in the daily puzzle, 1 XP in bonus games.
Complete a word: 25 XP daily, 6 XP in bonus games. The whole crossword slot must be complete.
Find every copy of a letter: 50 XP daily, 13 XP in bonus games.
Complete the card: up to 1000 XP. Checks, hints, and full-letter assists reduce the completion bonus.
Daily puzzles are the main run. Bonus games pay 25% XP, so they help you catch up without overtaking a perfect daily run too easily.
Fast perfect solves can earn extra rewards. Repeating the daily puzzle pays reduced XP.
Word bonuses reveal part of speech, a definition, and thesaurus notes when available.

Your current monthly XP rank.
Daily Codeword is for players aged 12 and over. You do not need an account to play. Without an account, your progress is stored locally on this device. An account is only needed if you want to back up your progress or play on another device. No data is ever shared or sold.
Daily Codeword is owned, operated and developed by Justin Hall for dailycodeword.co.uk. Players can ask privacy questions, request account changes, or request deletion through the contact route published on the site.
If you create an account, we collect your email address, chosen friendly name, age band, leaderboard preference, password hash, score totals, monthly XP, puzzle completion counts, daily/bonus completion counts, streak data, login/session tokens, and basic technical logs needed to run and protect the site.
We use account data to authenticate players, back up progress, show monthly stats, run leaderboards where players opt in, prevent score tampering, troubleshoot errors, keep the game available, and contact account holders about new game features, rank information, important rule changes or service updates.
For account and game-save features, processing is necessary to provide the service requested by the player. For security, abuse prevention, basic service diagnostics, and relevant game-service messages, we rely on legitimate interests.
Local progress remains on the device unless the browser data is cleared. Account and score data is kept while the account is active. Players can ask for deletion. Backups may retain deleted data for a limited operational period before rotation.
UK players can ask to access, correct, delete or restrict use of their personal data, and can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if they believe their data has been mishandled.
Use the game fairly. Do not attack the service, attempt to fake leaderboard scores, scrape private endpoints, or use automated play that spoils the experience for others. The service may reset suspicious scores or close abusive accounts.
Players must be 12 or over. Players aged 12 to 15 are not shown on public leaderboards and do not receive marketing or advertising personalisation.
