Extra Word Sudoku (Qudoku!) Puzzles for Monday, 2/10/2014



On the second Monday of each month in 2014, I’ll present you with a few extra Qudoku—Quotable Sudoku—puzzles presenting quotes from interesting people or on interesting topics. Last month the interesting topic was seriously scientific: the science of science. This month, it’s…Buzzword Bingo, just in time for Valentine’s Day this coming Friday!

How do you play Buzzword Bingo, you ask? With jargon candy hearts, of course!

Forget “Be Mine” and “Let’s Kiss.” Go for the jargonistic gusto: ”Let’s synergize” or “Align with me.” Ouch. But. Chuckle. Maybe.

Michael Sebastian of Ragan’s PR Daily (www.prdaily.com) wrote a wonderful tongue-in-cheek article last year, “10 candy hearts with your favorite jargon” (http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/13848.aspx), showing off candy hearts displaying silly jargon, perfect LOL-starters in today’s PR/communications world. What’s life and career without a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at/with oneself?

So for this upcoming Valentine’s Day, I present you with two extra Word Sudoku puzzle sets to solve and chuckle-or-groan at.

By the way, if you’re in the public relations/communications field and you don’t subscribe to Ragan’s many blogs, you’re missing top-notch professional development opportunities delivered right to your door. I strongly suggest you subscribe to prdaily.com and to managebetter.biz, to name just two of Ragan’s at least 16 offerings.
