New KeyWord Qudoku Puzzle for Tuesday, 2/2/2010

Today we continue our brief exploration of a new kind of Word Sudoku puzzle I call a KeyWord Qudoku puzzle, where you solve Word Sudoku puzzles to generate letters to fill in a quote grid full of common sayings. Each saying contains the same keyword. Only I don’t tell you the keyword! You have to guess it from the context of the sayings.
