Sudoku like puzzle book raising money for a Fareham charity

Like sudoku, but with letters and it goes to make up a crossword clue. Do the online one for free or buy the book; £3.75 direct or £10 from Amazon. And it's out of stock there anyway! 10% of each book goes to Rainbow Centre in Fareham which cares for children with cerebral palsy. I would not imagine the charity sees any extra cash if you ended up paying the £10 amazon price though... Maybe do the puzzle online for free and put 50p in a charity box.

Got this from Portsmouth Evening News. The story and the website itself, not the idea for not buying the book, that was all mine.
