Are you ready for Sudoku without numbers? This book delivers with bodacious collection of 500 "Word Sudoku" puzzles. It's easy enough to "translate" any conventional Sudoku puzzle (which uses the digits 1 through 9) into a puzzle with any 9 unique objects; for example, colored dots, emoji, or even hieroglyphics... whatever. However, if the puzzle creator substitutes letters of the alphabet for the numbers, this presents an interesting possibility. If the letters are carefully chosen and arranged properly, then a particular row or column can spell out a familiar English word. The puzzle solver can use this to their advantage! If the word is identified and placed properly in the puzzle, then the solver gains a distinct advantage and the puzzle can become much easier to solve. Word Sudoku: 500 Word Sudoku Puzzles presents 400 of these puzzles that can be solved with or without figuring out the embedded word. To make things even more interesting, the last 100 puzzles present an additional challenge: If you try to solve these puzzles "the old-fashioned way" (using conventional Sudoku puzzle solving strategies), you may get stuck (i.e., these may not be true Sudoku puzzles with a unique solution). However, if you identify the word and place it in the puzzle, the resulting puzzle will now have a unique solution and you should be able to finish solving the puzzle successfully. The puzzles are rated from 1-Star (relatively easy) to 6-Star (relatively difficult). For the 1-Star and 2-Star puzzles, a convenient hint is provided: The row or column where the word is located is shaded for you. If you find these puzzles too easy, skip ahead to the more difficult puzzles! As an added bonus, Word Sudoku: 500 Word Sudoku Puzzles includes a chapter on the strategies you may need to use to solve conventional numeric Sudoku puzzles as well as the Word Sudoku puzzles appearing in this book. If you're a seasoned Sudoku puzzle solver, you are probably already familiar with many of these strategies. If you are a beginner or if you find yourself getting stuck from time-to-time, check out these strategies and add them to your Sudoku-solving tool kit! All puzzles appearing in this book were created by the author, are brand new, and are appearing here for the first time.

This popular, even more challenging variant of sudoku is for true puzzle warriors! Each one consists of FIVE sudoku grids arranged in an X-shaped array, with overlapping corners. No grid can be solved on its own; to complete the entire puzzle, players have to work on several grids at once, making their way to overlapping areas and constantly searching for new clues. While regular sudoku-solving techniques provide the starting point, the game's more complicated than that. Because the overlapping areas belong to two different grids, they must comply with the rules of both simultaneously. That changes the puzzle's underlying logic...and makes these sudokus more fun for the serious fan. An introduction, with a sample puzzle, shows all the strategies.

This book is a new type of Hybrid eBook/Print book. A hybrid book consists of a traditional paperback book, containing puzzles and answers, and an on-line companion set of web pages for the print book, containing detailed step-by-step solutions for each puzzle, instructions for each puzzle type, and other information related to the paperback version of the book. Each print book title has a unique Internet web URL that points the reader directly to the eBook information for that particular print book. You can preview the on-line extras and step-by-step solutions for this particular book at its URL: http://www.grouppuzzles.com/titles/BEC2790D/ The "Variation" books are designed to help people discover the puzzle types and difficulty levels that they are most comfortable working. For this reason, they contain puzzles with multiple puzzle types, multiple puzzles levels, or both. Variation books that contain more than one puzzle type will only contain puzzles with similar group sizes so that all of the puzzle types in the book will have the same general puzzle complexity even when the book contains puzzles at many different difficulty levels. The motivation for this type of book organization is to permit everyone to explore which types of puzzles and which difficulty levels they prefer before they look for a book with a large number of puzzles.
