Logic Masters Deutschland e.V.

Martin and Stuart are playing Words With Friends (Scrabble) on a 9x9 grid, i.e.:

• Players take turns to place letters in an orthogonal straight line (one letter per cell) to make words, reading left to right or top to bottom;
• On the his first turn, Martin plays "CASTLE" horizontally in the middle row;
• Subsequently, each word must include at least one letter that has already been played as part of its straight line.

Each turn is scored according to the following rules:

• In this game, each letter from ACEHILMST has a unique integer point value from 1 to 9, and no other letters exist;
• A word's score is the sum of its letter's point values (including letters already on the board), plus any bonuses activated by letters played on coloured squares on that turn only;
• A letter's point value is doubled by a light blue square and tripled by a dark blue square;
• A word's score is doubled by a pink square and tripled by a red square;
• Letter multipliers (light/dark blue squares) are applied before word multipliers (pink/red squares).
• Word score multipliers stack multiplicatively. For example, a word played on one double word score and one triple word score would have score multiplied by 2x3 = 6.

The list of words and scores for each player, in order, is as follows (question marks indicate the number of digits in the score, where the leading digit is not zero):

Martin		Stuart
CASTLE	76	CHASM	???
ALCHEMIST	122	LATCH	???
LATHS	??	LIST	??
MEAT	??	CEL	??
Total	272	Total	525

After the game, replace each letter with its points value and fill in the grid according to regular sudoku rules: fill each row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9 once each.

Play on Sudokupad. Answer check only looks at digits in the main 9x9 grid.

Play on sudokupad (smaller grid without tile rack).
