Solution to Thursday's Word Sudoku Puzzle

Solution to Thursday's Word Sudoku Puzzle

This puzzle, ONSLAUGHT, was reasonably simple--not a normal newspaper's "4-star Thursday" puzzle. In fact, most of the puzzles I'm showing you on this blog are the equivalent of 1- or 2-star, on purpose. I can make really hard ones, but only the best solvers can solve them--and I readily admit, that does NOT include me! I want EVERYONE to get some fun out of these puzzles, so I'm making them on the easier side.

The very fact that each puzzle has a different set of symbols makes each puzzle a BIT harder--instead of looking at a particular cell in the grid and running through the numbers 1-9, you have to spell out whatever word, phrase or anagram you've been supplied with the specific puzzle--the process of filtering possibilities is no longer generic from puzzle to puzzle, but SPECIFIC to EACH puzzle.

A new puzzle for you coming later today.
