"Let's go for another gallop," Tom recanted.
A Tom Swifty is an adverbial pun simultaneously describing the speaker and the speaker's statement. The name comes from the Tom Swift book series for young readers. The authors were roundly criticized for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom rarely said anything without a qualifying adverb. (The fact that they did this on purpose, to make the books laugh-out-loud funny to read, didn't blunt the criticism.) A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style—no longer related to Tom at all—that will make you groan out loud.
You might have noticed that the last Swifty Sudoku puzzle set of the month is a bit harder—I'm adding a lot more puzzles. You usually get two to four Word Sudoku puzzles to fill in the quote grid; today's puzzle set has seven. The weekday puzzles get harder during the week; the weekend puzzles get harder during the month.
