This is a nice colourful version of Lexoku using seven-letter words. Unlike standard Lexoku, the Jigsaw version has a 7x7 grid with coloured jigsaw-style shapes replacing the blocks. Have fun!

This is another variant of Lexoku, and as the name suggests, it's quite hard. In Killer Lexoku, you aren't told what the words are — you have to think of those yourself — but you are given the missing letters. Your job is to complete the grid, using the remaining letters, so that every row, column and 2x3 block contains all the letters of a 6-letter word. To make life a little easier, there are more given letters than in standard Lexoku. Enjoy!
The 14 remaining letters are:
D G H H I I O P P P P P S S
You just need to decide where to put them!
I haven't posted any Lexoku puzzles on this site for a while. A few days ago I received an email reminding me of this fact, so I went about trying to remedy the situation. So here are five more Lexoku puzzles, and as an added bonus I've uploaded a 7x7 Jigsaw Lexoku and even a Killer Lexoku.
First, here are the standard Lexoku puzzles. For hints on how to solve Lexoku, please click here. To give you some idea of the difficulty of each puzzle a star rating is given, with five stars being the hardest.
In case you've forgotten, the object of Lexoku is to complete the grid so that every row, every column and every 2x3 block contains one of the words listed. All 18 listed words are used once in the grid.
