Sometimes we may think that a game such as Sudoku is too hard or that we don't like numbers.
But when you get to actually begin playing Sudoku you can fall under its spell.
Here's a place for those who may enjoy playing and at different levels....

I thought it might be fun to share some places where we enjoy finding Sudoku. Do you have a favorite magazine or a favorite website or your daily newspaper for your daily dose of Sudoku?

Catherine,
I don't like playing games at all with a timer and certainly not Sudoku. What I meant is that you can play Sudoku online with the timer on or off. I just prefer playing and enjoying discovering where the numbers are without a ticking clock.

You asked if I time myself.....not exactly. I've tried but it makes me too nervous and then I mess up. But what I do is kind of silly. If I work one in what I think is record time then I log it in the margin. It's a kind of "woo hoo, look at me" thing. Believe me, there are not that many with times logged in the margins.

I LOVE Sudoku, Teresita! I do at least two puzzles before bed at night to help me wind down! I have a little trouble with the expert level, though... I'll be checking out that video tomorrow!!! Thank you!!! - Nini

DOes Sudoku seem too hard for you? Well you can even start out playing a KIDS version and go from the regular 9 number sets to 6 sets or for real beginners and getting to see how things work, the version that uses only 4 numbers is great too.

Hi Catherine, I'd like to use pen too but no way. I agree that it can be fun in the mornings and very much so at night too. Do you play online too with a timer? I don't want to be timed for sudoku or for chess either. I'd rather time my time and enjoy unraveling the numbers. |

Sudoku gets my mind going in the mornings. I usually try to first find the across and the down with the numbers in order. Then I work across from top to bottom and then top to bottom from left to right....does that make sense? Anyway, I want so bad to do the difficult level in pen.
I often have trouble falling asleep because my mind is racing. Believe it or not, at night, a quick game of an easy level helps my mind calm down.
