"Experience an ""Aha!"" moment with each Sudoku puzzle! When you finish a classic 9x9 puzzle using the digits 1-9, you're done but you're not really satisfied. You want more than just a feeling of mere accomplishment. But in Word Sudoku, you discover the solution word or phrase as you solve the puzzle. You begin with an anagram-a respelling-of the solution. For example, a 9x9 Word Sudoku puzzle could use the nine letters in the anagram I GOT CURLS. When you solve the puzzle, you've spelled out the respelling of that anagram: GIRL SCOUT. Likewise, from the letters in the anagram A RINGLET, you could face five different Word Sudoku puzzles spelling out RELATING, ALTERING, ALERTING, TRIANGLE, and INTEGRAL (not to mention LARGE NIT or RING TALE). This collection of three books in one volume takes this idea further.Every puzzle anagram in each book in this collection shares three letters: JIN, KAY, and LAB, respectively. Since you know this, these letters are missing from each puzzle's anagram in each book!You face a variety of puzzle sizes-not just the classic 9x9. You'll also find the easy 4x4 and 6x6, the unusual 8x8, the difficult 10x10, the devilish 12x12-and the unexpected, even fiendish 5x5 and 7x7 (which you may not have ever encountered before this)!As you work each puzzle using its anagram, you discover the real solution. Aha!

You 're given a five-letter word for each set of puzzles. By first taking away a letter, and later adding a letter, you'll solve a 4x4 and a 6x6 Word Sudoku puzzle. And you'll discover unexpected words hidden within words! Here's the twist: Later in the book, once you're warmed up with those easy 4x4 and 6x6 Sudoku puzzles, you'll face the challenge of solving 5x5 puzzles-each spelling out an anagram of the given 5-letter word. These puzzles don't have rectangular boxes inside; following the Sudoku rules is harder. Are you up to this new challenge? Puzzle completion rules are standard: The hidden word or phrase spells left-to-right and/or top-to-bottom in the shaded squares; and each row, column, and ... 4x4: 2x2 square ...>5x5: enclosed shape ...>6x6: 2x3 rectangle ...>... contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once. Most of the time, the 300 puzzles in this book are based on words that many of us probably have in our vocabulary. Words may also be common geographical place names and people's names. For harder puzzles, discovering an unknown word is part of the fun! These puzzles don't shy away from obsolete or archaic words. Definitions for each can be found via onelook.com, Google or Wikipedia. Good luck!

"Classic Sudoku puzzles always use the same symbols to fill in cells: the digits 1-9. In Word Sudoku, however, each puzzle has a different set of symbols-the letters in a word or phrase. The puzzles are a little bit harder than classic Sudoku because you have to learn the allowable symbols all over again each time you begin a new puzzle. This book takes this idea three steps further. First, you don't get the actual word or phrase. You get an anagram instead-a phrase that's a rearrangement of the letters of the hidden word or phrase. (For example, English and shingle are anagrams of each other.) You unveil the hidden word or phrase as you solve the puzzle. Second, every puzzle anagram in this book shares three letters: ZEN. Since you know this, these three letters are missing from each puzzle anagram. Third, I don't stick to just 9x9 puzzles. You'll find the easy 4x4 and 6x6, the unusual 8x8, the difficult 10x10, the devilish 12x12-and the unexpected, even fiendish 5x5 and 7x7!"

Classic Sudoku puzzles use the digits 1-9 and ask you to solve a logic puzzle. The puzzle has nothing to do with the digits; they're merely distinct symbols you use in determining the solution. In Word Sudoku, each puzzle has a different set of symbols-the letters in a word or phrase. The puzzles are a little bit harder than classic Sudoku because you have to learn the allowable symbols all over again with each new puzzle. This book takes the idea of using words a bit further, using the letters in the Word Sudoku puzzles to spell out a quote-in this collection, common proverbs you'll likely recognize. And we don't stick to just 99 puzzles. You'll start by quickly solving easy 44 and 66 puzzles. In the middle, you'll be briefly at odds with 88s. And near the end, you'll undoubtedly express your frustration with fiendish 55s and 77s. They're hard! Puzzle rules are standard: 4x4: Each row, column and 2x2 square contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once 5x5: Each row, column and enclosed shape contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once 6x6: Each row, column and 2x3 rectangle contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once 7x7: Each row, column and enclosed shape contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once 8x8: Each row, column and 2x4 rectangle contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once 9x9: Each row, column and 3x3 square contains the letters in the word or phrase exactly once Finally, copy the circled letters in each Word Sudoku puzzle to the corresponding numbered cells in the accompanying quote grid to spell out the proverb.
