What do you think of Sudoku? I've tried to play and enjoy it. But
it is always the same dam thing over and over again. Strategy is the same for every line.

1. I think it's boring - but that's probably because
I suck at it.

Give me a good crossword puzzle any day. I do the NYT puzzles every day. In ink.

3. I don't have the biggest vocabulary or spelling so I'm not good at crosswords. But I enjoyed them
when I did them.

2. I never learned how to solve it.
I didn't think it looked interesting either.

6. Never got the whole point. You solve it and you've got a page full of numbers.
With a crossword you get a better vocabulary and maybe a few good puns.

7. I enjoy it - play every day along with a crossword
As the difficulty level goes up, you'll find that the basic strategies become less and less useful...

8. I hate when you mess up and have to erase an hour's work.
You can't just fix the one thing.

9. Ooooh, totally love it.
I've worked my way up to the "hard" level. It's basically a logic puzzle, but with numbers.

I believe once you get past "hard", the puzzles get juicier; however, I'm not quite ready.

10. You need more difficult puzzles.
The easy ones are boring. The strategy becomes more interesting when you get to more difficult puzzles.

12. KenKen is better
Sudoku is a logic game. But Kenken is actually math. It looks like sudoku, but it isn't.

The NYT website has 6 new puzzles everyday. Give it a try!
