How to play Word Sudoku
It works exactly like sudoku, but with nine distinct letters instead of the digits 1–9. Fill the grid so every row, every column, and every 3×3 box contains each letter exactly once. As a bonus, one line of the solved grid spells a real nine-letter word. Solve it as fast as you can.
