Product Description:

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.

Not nearly as much fun as I hoped...
These puzzles were not only not as fun as regular Sudoku, but weren't as challenging either. They were more like the "training" Sudokus my 9-year old does. And as for having anything to do with Scrabble (one of my favorite games ever), the letters of the word you fit into the boxes are drawn on tiles at the bottom of the page, and that's it. I suppose the words were unusual enough that if you committed them to memory, they might help you out when playing Scrabble, but I would rather memorize 8-letter words (all of these are 7) so I could use all of my tiles connected to one on the board.

Another fun Wordoku puzzle book
Like Frank Longo's other letter based Sudoku books (The Official Book of Wordoku: Sudoku Puzzles for Word Lovers, TRIVIAL PURSUIT Sudoku (Trivial Pursuit) and others), this book has you solving the Sudoku's to spell out a word either across, down or on a diagonal. What makes this one different is that the grid is only 7 x 7 and because of that is in a jigsaw pattern of irregular shapes.

Solving the puzzles takes a double shift in your thinking, first to try to find the word that is the "solution" word and also to just solve the jigsaw aspect of the Sudoku.

Definitely worth adding to your collection of Sudoku variations.
