Thank you all. Interesting to see the different ways people have combined words and sudoku 
Good suggestion to clarify starting point CHalb, and happy to see some Plattdeutsch in a puzzle!
BenTen, you're referring to Knights of the Round Table, right? I notice that both of our puzzles use the instructions in sly ways to constrain the puzzle -- maybe that's necessary for puzzles with a large word list. I tried to make a sudoku where cages spelled out "any common English word", but I needed so many hints that it became unwieldy (e.g. the puzzle only works if VIA is considered a common word, but not AI, SAI, or RIA).
