Sudoku Word Search
Part sudoku. Part word search. Pure logic.
A sudoku built from nine letters instead of numbers — and the hidden words are the only thing that makes it solvable.
How does it work?
A Sudoku Word Search is a sudoku built from nine letters instead of numbers. Fill every row, column, and 3×3 box with the same nine letters — and hidden in the finished grid is every word from the list beneath it, reading across, down, or diagonally, exactly once.
The catch: the words aren't a prize at the end — they're clues. At some point sudoku logic alone stalls, and the only way forward is to ask where a word can possibly fit. Learn how to play →
Prefer paper?
The paperback has one hundred puzzles, organized by difficulty, every one solvable by pure deduction — with three hints each and full solutions. Stuck on one? Type its code into Stuck? for a step-by-step walkthrough.
