sudoku mania

Published Jul. 5, 2009

This may be a bit too intimate for some of you...but do you sudoku? Confession is good for the soul, so if you do sudoku, go ahead and admit it. You're in good company, several of us do it regularly. Without apology or regrets.

I keep trying to explain how to do it to some who watch me work my lil puzzles out while I'm filling my bladder with endless cups of coffee at the lunch counter.  It seems many people get hung up on the idea of trying to "add things up" or something like that. So I began thinking if it were just symbols instead of numbers it'd be easier to explain the concept of searching for the patterns in solving the puzzle. And Lo & Behold I found this neat site (aimed at kids but appealing the kid inside of me) where they have these fruit symbol 'sudoku' puzzles ready to solve.

Pretty cool concept and it may be just the thing for some of you parents to get your own kids or numerically challenged friends and family into the general concept of how to work sudoku puzzles.

Ok now let me see, I've got two watermellons on this vertical set of blocks, only one lemon on the horizontal so this corner has to be cherries....LOL...See how easy it is?!

I sudoku but I found Mega Sudoku. The squares are 4x4 and you use 1-9 AND A-G. I think you can say I am addicted.....

Yep I confess I play. The key is to put it aside when you get stuck and look at it later.

Hi, my name is Kat, and I sudoku.. I used to play minesweeper, but I've obviously moved on to the hard stuff.

You should get one of those Penny Press sudoku books - they have a website where you can register your book and do all the puzzles online! It's great - you can have the candidates displayed, and updated when you fill a cell, and if you make a mistake it lets you know, plus if you need a hint you can get one. It really helps with the harder puzzles, it's a great teaching tool if you want to learn how to figure out some of the harder deductions, like x/y wing patterns and such.

I sudoku....

LOL I loved the anagrams or is it anacrostic. Not sure but haven't done puzzles since leaving work. I used to do the whole puzzel page on the N&O during lunch break.

Hi!I love Sudoku too.What a neat idea you came up with.Maybe "others will come" after seeing this new site.LOL

My hubby loves sudoku.
