New Word Sudoku Puzzles for Monday, 9/15/2008

Today's 9x9 Classic Word Sudoku puzzle is based on the words KID GLOVES:

KID GLOVES
Each row, column and 3x3 square contain the letters in the word or phrase exactly once

And, finishing up our through-the-weekend AEIOU Sudoku puzzle theme, here's the final puzzle I'll present as a possible solution to NPR Puzzle Master and New York Times Crossword Editor Will Shortz' poser on a recent NPR Sunday Puzzle feature: Find a nine-distinct-letter word using all five vowels, where the vowels occupy the odd-numbered letter positions. The hidden word runs down the diagonal; the anagram you get to work with is INSURE A OK. It is no clue whatsoever to the hidden word! It's just an anagram.

INSURE A OK
AEIOU (Odd) Sudoku: 9x9 Hidden Word Sudoku Puzzle
Each row, column and 3x3 square contain the letters in the anagram exactly once
The hidden word or phrase is spelled down the diagonal and contains all 5 vowels (a, e, i, o and u, in some order)
In addition, the odd-numbered positions of the hidden word or phrase are vowels

Solutions in the morning.

Thanks,
--Dave
