Solutions to the Saturday Swifty Word Sudoku Puzzles

Yesterday’s Qudoku puzzle set spelled out an adverbial pun known as a Tom Swifty. This time Tom is showing how rude he can be.

Let’s go for another gallop," Tom recanted.

A Tom Swifty is an adverbial pun that simultaneously describes a speaker and refers to the speaker's statement. The name comes from the Tom Swift book series for young readers first published in 1910. The authors were roundly criticized at the time for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom hardly ever said anything without a qualifying adverb. A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style that could make you groan out loud!

I’d like to make a toast," Tom said warmly.

A Tom Swifty is an adverbial pun that simultaneously describes a speaker and refers to the speaker's statement. The name comes from the Tom Swift book series for young readers that first hit bookstands back in 1910 (but the latest book was published in 2007!). The original authors were roundly criticized at the time for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom hardly ever said anything without a qualifying adverb. A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style that, if successful, will make you groan!
