Hi All, One day when I was supposed to be doing something else I Googled Shogun Sudoku and found this wonderful site:
http://sudoku.top-notch.co.uk/ They have some free puzzles - a double, a five combo and Wordoku (which is available in 4 languages I think). They don't change the free ones weekly (I've been checking), maybe monthly. Checking to see if there were new free ones wore down my resistance and I paid the 2 pounds ($3.61USD) for a password good for two weeks. They have four Shogun puzzles (you need the password for those) and four Sumo Sudoku puzzles - 13 connected squares!! Today I went back and found they have created a new monster - Shaolin Sudoku - 25 connected puzzles!!!!! I don't think I'll start that one very soon! I do have a life even if it isn't apparent in this note <G>. They just changed the free ones but I have had more trouble with the double one (Sensei Sudoku) they had up than I have with the 5-combo (Samurai Sudoku). I even started another Shogun but none will ever be as hard as that first one was! I'm not timing myself anymore, just having fun <G>. Wikipedia has some good info on solving the puzzles. It turns out I'm a scanner but I will fill in numbers when they fit in two or three spaces only. This second Shogun I'm working on is teaching me some new "rules" about the puzzles too. I also found an article by Will Shortz, current puzzle editor of the New York Times. He says that Sudoku first appeared in one of the Dell puzzle magazines in the US in 1989 (I think) and then it took off in Japan. The rest is history! Jane in Vermont, USA where it's 50F (10C) outside!! Feels fabulously warm!!
