Sudoku

Anyone do these often? Anything having to do with numbers has never been my strength. The language side of my brain is much more developed! But I've been trying to get better at Sudoku. Mid Feb I decided to do the puzzle every day in my local newspaper. Have done just about every one since around the 15th of last month. I finally can do almost all Level 4s that I come up against, but have only completed 1 Level 5 out of 3 so far. Level 5 is only on Sundays. Right now I have one Level 4 and one Level 5 still to do. Full disclosure: I had to erase and start these again! Ugh.

I do find these to be fun. But the Level 5 I find challenging.

I'm a fan of sudoku. I do them everyday in the local newspapers along with the NY Times crossword. They are super easy on Monday and Tuesday but then after that they are really challenging. I usually don't finish Friday's - not enough numbers to start with and I don't like to peek at the solutions. Same with the NYTimes crossword - easy at the beginning of the week - hard after that.

I do Sudoku puzzles most every day - in fact, one of my books is right beside my laptap, even as I type. I mostly do them in the evening, during my 'winding down time'.

I enjoy crosswords, word searches and the word scramble Jumble.

I thought I should change it up a bit and try Sudoku. Just to challenge my brain a bit. I bought an easy Sudoku book to get started several months ago. I have not started it yet.

The last time I looked at it I was just not sure how to get started with it. Did it take anyone a while to get going with it? I think I am an intelligent person, but it seems a bit hard for me to learn.

I only do them when I am captive on an airplane. I date them and log where I'm flying to. It helps pass the time. I don't do them any other time. I save them for the plane and it gives me something to look forward to. I've been working on the same sudoku puzzle book for 5 years.

I haven't done any Soduko in quite a long time but I do remember giving up several times over a period of months. I just could not get the hang of it. Then one day I picked the book up again to give it another go and suddenly a light went on. I was off and running. I became obsessed. I even gave up my beloved crossword books there for awhile and focused on Soduko. Then about 5 or 6 years ago my kids gave me my first Ipad for Christmas. That was the end of Soduko. I still have both crossword & Soduko books that haven't been touched since.

Sudoku has nothing to do with numbers. Substitute letters - a thru i and you'll have the same puzzle and not be intimidated.

I love them - I do the ones in the NY Times along with the crossword.

I do them as well. I especially love to do them on an airplane, remember those, LOL, as it is a good way for me to pass the time on overseas flights when I can never sleep. I always have to finish ones that I start, no matter how many HOURS it takes! But if I get close to the end and I messed up, which happens occasionally, I pitch it and let it go.
