Solutions to the Saturday Swifty Word Sudoku Puzzles

Yesterday’s Qudoku puzzle set spelled out an adverbial pun known as a Tom Swifty. This one shows someone other than Tom has a glib tongue.

The Sunday Challenge in a few hours.

New Word Sudoku (Swifty Sudoku!) Puzzles for Saturday, 8/16/2014

Oh my goodness!" said Tom graciously.

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. The authors were roundly criticized for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom rarely said anything without a qualifying adverb. A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style that will make you groan out loud.

Did I mention that Tom is away this weekend?
