Extra Word Sudoku (Qudoku!) Puzzle for Wednesday, 5/8/2013

All this week, I’m presenting you a series of extra puzzles—Word-from-word Sudoku puzzles and Hidden Word Sudoku puzzles based on the letters in the word shambolic, meaning chaotic, from the noun shambles, meaning mess or muddle.

Let’s start with two more well-known phrases containing all the letters in shambolic.

Copy circled letters to the corresponding numbered cells in the quote grid to spell out some common words and phrases containing all the letters in the word SHAMBOLIC



Next, let’s explore some of the words made up only of letters in shambolic. I’ll provide the letters in shambolic that are not in the hidden word; you must determine what’s left, to form the hidden word.
