SCRABBLE meets sudoku! These 7 x 7 squares will captivate fans of not one, but two hugely popular pastimes, as the hottest word game of the last 60 years joins forces with the puzzle that’s swept the world. Each sudoku-style diagram conceals a Scrabble word--that is, a word certified legally playable by the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, Fourth Edition. The challenge: solve the puzzle and discover the hidden word. The payoff: hours of puzzle-solving fun, plus a chance to build your vocabulary and sharpen skills that could provide the winning edge in Scrabble. It’s another surefire hit from the expert authors of the Mensa� Guide to Solving Sudoku, with more than 46,000 copies sold to date.

Two great brain games come together in one smart package--and the result is a brilliant blend of logical thinking and linguistics. Stupendous SCRABBLE Sudoku--the follow-up to the fantastically successful SCRABBLE-doku--is the inspiration of puzzle powerhouses Frank Longo and Peter Gordon, and they’ve created the highest possible quality puzzling experience. Just fill out each partially completed sudoku puzzle with letters, using each letter only once in every row, column, and boxed-in area. When the puzzle’s done, a legitimate SCRABBLE word will be revealed. It’s a smart way for solvers to stretch their mental muscles...and learn some SCRABBLE vocabulary, too!
