About this puzzle

How This Grid Breaks Down

This is puzzle 1 of group 1610 in the Deserts of the World world of CodyCross. It holds 16 clues, with answers running from 8 to 8 letters — the longest being POLKADOT.

Work the long rows first. CodyCross fixes the letter count for every row before you type, so length alone eliminates most wrong guesses, and each completed row hands letters to the highlighted column that spells this puzzle's hidden bonus word. If a clue here looks familiar from another world, that is by design: the game recycles clue text with different answers, which is exactly why this page keeps the full world-group-puzzle path rather than listing clues on their own.

Move to puzzle 2, or open the whole of group 1610. The Deserts of the World world covers 100 puzzles across 20 groups, and the world index spans all 108. This puzzle also exists in 8 other language editions of CodyCross (DE, ES, FR, IT, NL, PT, RU, TR), which use entirely different clues rather than translations.
