It’s daily. It’s liberal. It’s sudoku. Today’s daily liberal sudoku puzzle is ready for your pencil, pencil, quill or battle axe — if you can write with a battle axe.
As in classic sudoku, the object of liberal sudoku is to fill in a 9×9 grid so that each member of a set of nine symbols appears once and only once in each column, once in each row, and once in each of nine smaller 3×3 sub-boxes. The twist with liberal sudoku is to replace the numbers 1-9 with a set of nine letters. At the bottom of the puzzle is a clue, hinting at a name, a word, or a phrase related to liberalism that appears in one of the rows or columns of the puzzle. Using the clue in combination with rules of logic, you should be able to fill in all the boxes and find the one possible solution.
Today’s clue: appearing in today’s sudoku grid is the name of a city in Illinois in which John Kerry won the 2004 vote by a slim margin of just 94 votes.
