I truly hope you’re having fun solving these word Sudoku puzzles. I’m still constructing them. And I’m publishing a book of new puzzles on Amazon at least once a month. The latest book, "Missing Letter Hidden Word Sudoku: UGH (Volume 22)" hit the Amazon online bookshelf two days ago.

New Word Sudoku (Swifty Sudoku!) Puzzles for Saturday, 10/3/2020

"It's a rooster!" clucked Tom cockily.

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.
