Remember that special holiday sudoku puzzle I'd posted one month ago? That's the one with letters (instead of numbers) that had to fill in the remaining spaces in this 16x16 grid - so that each row, column, 4x4 cell, and corner-to-corner route (indicated by circles) contained all sixteen different letters, without repeating. And one row/column had the answer to a trivia question (about something you would eat after Thanksgiving).
Well, here's the solution to said sudoku, with the answer to the trivia question - TURKEY SANDWICH - in bold print. (Let me hear your 'feedback' about it soon!)

I'm not ashamed to admit that there are some puzzles I'm not too crazy about either, Stemafox. They include The New York Times crosswords and the newest numerical puzzle, Ken-Ken. But if it helps to promote my artwork, I don't mind adding an extra tantalizing 'perk', like a sudoku or a word search.
Now word searches I like better. Followed by "Rebus" puzzles and the popular "Scramble" which I like figuring out in the newspaper whenever I get the chance. In fact I take the "Scramble" up another level and try to make up a four sentence "Story" using the clue words, and every so often the answer. (Keeps my story telling mind sharp.) I hate Crosswords because they make the clues too vague. It's like, "You're too uninformed to figure out our crossword puzzles? Oh you poor, lower creature you." Humpf!
The newspaper puzzles I like the most are "Jumble", "Wonderword" (a word search), "Hurdy-Gurdy" (a rhyming puzzle), "Boggle", and "Scrabble-Grams".
Back in the 1970s, I used to make unusual word searches with a triangular grid. One of those puzzles of mine even appeared in an issue of the comic book "Fusion". The favorite word puzzle I love to make nowadays is a "Knight's-Tour Crypt" - where a familiar quotation in a grid full of letters has to be deciphered entirely in a series of knight's moves (like those in a game of Chess). Besides the usual square and rectangular ones, I'd made grids shaped like diamonds, hearts, letters and numbers, as well as shapes of American states, corporate logos, and animals! (Remind me to send you one of those, in the near future.)
As for crossword puzzles, my favorite ones are the "Cryptic Crosswords" in GAMES Magazine. They have very unusual clues - like "Emperor in ermine robe" (4), and "Initially, Andy Rooney is angry - that's an old song" (4). How are you at solving these, Steamfox?
