PUZZLE #481: Sudokurostic 4

PUZZLE #481
SUDOKUROSTIC 4

Below is supposed to be a sudoku/wordoku puzzle, but unfortunately, the whole grid is completely blank. To fill it in, solve the clues so that the answers fill out the dashes (one letter per dash), then transfer each letter to the grid according to the coordinates below each dash, like an anacrostic puzzle. For example, if the coordinates were "e6", then its corresponding letter should go in the square in row "e" and column "6". Not all of the grid's squares will ultimately be filled in, so it's up to you to complete the rest of the wordoku puzzle, making sure that each row, column, and 3x3 box contains the same nine unique letters without any repeats.

Once the grid has been completely filled, look through it like a word search to find the FINAL ANSWER: an adjective that's at least six letters long


• Collarbone
   __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
   d3 f2 a8 b5 a1 h7 h3 f8
• Frida Kahlo, Paul Klee, and Jeff Koons, e.g.
   __ __ __ __ __ __ __
   f7 h1 a6 i9 a3 i4 d8
• Opening for a game of volleyball
   __ __ __ __ __ __ __
   g1 c9 g8 c2 f3 a5 h5
• Superlative adjective for the Burj Khalifa skyscraper
   __ __ __ __ __ __ __
   b3 g9 d7 b9 e1 i5 d5
• Surname of a Clue suspect in a red dress
   __ __ __ __ __ __ __
   b7 i2 d2 f5 c1 i7 e9

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
