Anyone else excited baseball is back? To celebrate, we’re running a variety kaidoku. Years ago I posted a bunch of these, but it’s likely most of you have never seen one, so:

Most entries in a variety kaidoku are common, lowercase English words. A few entries are not, and they are for you to find. The numbers 1 through 26 each represent a different letter of the alphabet, and instances of a given number stand for the same letter throughout the entire grid.

Enjoy the solve, and as always, if you plan to solve on Twitch, let us know about it!

      Good question! In a typical kaidoku all the entries are Scrabble-eligible. We call these “variety” because some of the entries are not dictionary words.
