How to play Codeword

It’s a crossword with no clues — instead, every letter of the alphabet has been swapped for a number, the same number everywhere it appears. A few letters are given to start. Click a cell, type the letter you think its number stands for, and every matching cell updates. Use the crossing words to crack the whole code.
