Theme:<\/b> Dalek Invasion <\/a><\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Standard Sudoku<\/a> rules except that instead of the numbers 1-9 this puzzle uses the letters in “END MATRIX”. Also, clues in the grid represent typical “Seek and Spell\/Kanaore”<\/a> clues; specifically, it must be possible to read each of the words\/phrases listed below the grid by starting at the indicated number, moving one cell in the direction indicated by the arrow, and then continuing to move one cell at a time up, down, left, or right to complete the word\/phrase. No cell may be used more than once in a single path, but the same cell can appear in the paths of different words\/phrases. <\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> Enter the 2nd row from left to right, followed by a comma, followed by the 6th row from left to right. Use all capital letters.<\/p>\n
