What is Sudoku?


Sudoku is a game played with numbers which you have to fill into little boxes in such way that in the given square you need to have numbers between 1 to 9 without repeating them.

Also, you can’t have the same number in a row either right side or down, up side. This may seem a little bit complicated but trust me, it isn’t at all.

I was 13 when I received my first Sudoku Notebook with 100 puzzles, one puzzle each page. Firstly I didn’t know and care, I just threw it between my messy stuff. Then, one day my parents left me home alone playing on my computer. Suddenly, the power ran off and adios my beloved computer games. Crying and getting really angry about that, I started to arrange the things in my room, putting my clothes in my washing machine, arranging books. That’s when I discovered my Sudoku notebook. Having nothing else to do, I opened it and there it all started.

It had three levels: easy, normal and hard. Trust me, I couldn’t stop filling in, erasing and then again filling in. Just couldn’t stop. I needed almost 2 weeks to finish my first Sudoku Notebook. Then for the next few months I’ve signed up to receive the local newspaper every Saturday which had a little notebook with 7 puzzles, one for each day of the week.

But, as fast as I got excited it was all blown away by the closing of my favorite newspaper’s activity.

There have been a few years since then and I’ve started to forget about it, being busy growing older having a teenager life. But guess what?

Checking my mail one day, I’ve just seen an email from a certain site, can’t remember surely its name. It was advertising for a mini clip game called Sudoku Puzzle Game. Entering there I had a little disappointment that I couldn’t play online because I wasn’t the right person to deal with computer tricks but I’ve found there a link from where I could download Sudoku Puzzle game to my cell phone. Since then this is my favorite thing to waste my time with. I have to add that it really helps in developing your mathematical and logical thinking skills and it really helps if you start at an early age.

Just put a paper with a Sudoku puzzle game and a pencil in your son or daughter’s hand and you may be surprised how it can captivate their attention. It’s just like showing a shoe to a baby. He wouldn’t know what to do with it. He might have the first impulse to put it in his mouth or over his head making you laugh, just like babies.

This is exactly the way of a child, teenager or adult acting when facing a Sudoku game. Firstly they wouldn’t know what to do, but when trying and starting to write, it all flows by itself.

I would really suggest it to every one of you out there. Just search for it! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
