New Word Sudoku (Punnish Sudoku) Puzzles for Sunday, 7/4/2021

Every Sunday, I offer you a (generally very bad) pun (spelled out by solving Sudoku puzzles, of course). In 2021, these puns list Books Never Written, for obvious reasons.

You may have noticed that the Sunday pun puzzles for the first half of the year were all pretty easy size 6x6. The second half of the year, the Sunday Challenge will be significantly tougher: The Sunday puns will come in assorted sizes 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7. 4x4 and 6x6 puzzles are pretty easy, of course, but 5x5 and 7x7 puzzles are not. Take your time and have fun!

Solutions to the Saturday Swifty Word Sudoku Puzzles

Yesterday’s Qudoku puzzle set spelled out an adverbial pun known as a Tom Swifty.

The Sunday Challenge in a few hours.

Thanks,
--Dave

 

New Word Sudoku (Swifty Sudoku!) Puzzles for Saturday, 7/3/2021

My pencil is dull," said Tom pointlessly.

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.
