New Word Sudoku Puzzles for Thursday, 9/25/2008

New Word Sudoku Puzzles for Thursday, 9/25/2008


Two puzzles for you today!


The first is the standard daily offering: a 9x9 Classic Word Sudoku puzzle based on the word CHORDATES:


CHORDATES
9x9 Classic Word Sudoku Puzzle
Each row, column and 3x3 square contain the letters in the word or phrase exactly once


After you've polished off that easy one, here's another that may be a bit larger bite. It's a 10x10 Hidden Word Sudoku puzzle. Given the letters in the anagram HEINOUS TAX, solve the Sudoku puzzle, spelling the hidden word or phrase down the diagonal.


HEINOUS TAX
10x10 Hidden Word Sudoku Puzzle
Each row, column and 2x5 rectangle contain the letters in the word or phrase exactly once
The hidden word or phrase is spelled down the diagonal


Solutions in the morning, as usual. We're getting close to the weekend; Stop by Saturday for a Diagonal Word Sudoku puzzle, and Sunday, of course, I'll throw you my customary Sunday Challenge--a 12x12 Hidden Word Sudoku puzzle.


And next week, beginning October 1, we'll take a week-long (or so) departure from the usual daily Classic Word Sudoku puzzle, and present a series of "Qudoku" puzzles--my term for Sudokus whose solutions feed letters into a quote. Sort of a poor man's cryptogram, since you don't have to have any 'cryptogrammatical' skills to discover the quote--only Sudoku skills. You've seen a few already in this blog, but I'll put them in perspective--and provide you quite a number of hopefully fun and moderately challenging puzzles in the process!


Thanks,
--Dave
