In this Sudoku the normal 3x3 boxes are now strangely odd shapes - but all the rules and logic of Sudoku apply.

Fill the board by entering numbers 1 to 9 such that each row, column and box contains every number uniquely.

In Killer Sudoku there the small numbers are the sum of all the cells marked by each dotted ‘cage’. You have to work out what numbers 1 to 9 fill each row, column and 3x3 uniquely such that all the clues add up. No number will appear twice in any ‘cage’.

Somehow the list of words below fit into this crossword grid. There are three letters to give you a start. Can you place all the words correctly?

1 to 25 To solve 1 to 25, move the umbers from the outer ring onto the board in the directions of the chevrons.

Each number must be adjacent to the previous: vertically, horizontally or diagonally so they snake together in sequence from 1 to 25.

There is only one solution.

Kakuro Place 1 to 9 in each white cell. To choose the right number you need to work from the clues in around the edge. The numbers below the diagonal lines are the sums of the solutions in the white cells immediately beneath. The numbers above the divide are the sums of the solutions immediately to the right. Rows and columns do NOT have to be unique.

Thus, if a 3 is shown as a clue there will be two cells waiting for you to put the digits 1 and 2 in them – the only possible sum that will equal 3

Can you put boxes round all the numbers such that all the numbers in each box add up to 15? There is only one way to do this!

The final rule is that no number may be repeated in any block. For example, if the clue is 4, the only possible solution will be 1 and 3 (or 3 and 1), never 2 and 2.

Numbers are substituted for letters in the crossword grid. To the right of the grid is the key with two letters solved.

Try to complete the first few words to give you more letters, or look for a frequent number that might reveal a common letter. As you find letters, enter them in the key and into the grid. Cross off the letters in the A to Z list.
