Eliminate values in a cell

Choose an empty cell, like 2.3. Out of all the possible values 1-9, eliminate those already found on the same row, column and square as the cell. If only one value is left, write it into the cell. This pattern is also known as Lone Single or Naked Single.

How to play word sudoku

In word sudou, you must fill in each row, column or 3x3 block using the letters of a word, instead of numbers. Otherwise, normal sudoku rules apply: all letters of the word must be used, without repetitions in rows, columns or blocks.

For example, here is a partially solved board:

W O N D E R F U L
F R E
