Everybody’s heard of Sudoku nowadays, the game where you put numbers into a grid so the digits 1-9 appear once (and only once) in each row, column and 3×3 square. There are a few good websites for playing Sudoku online. Here are some.
Sudoku.com, Sudoku.org, & Sudoku.net all forward to Sudoku.com. This site has a program you can download and solve them on your computer. They also provide solutions for Sudoku puzzles printed in newspapers. You just pick your paper and enter the first five numbers provided in the puzzle. Pretty handy and keep you from having to wait for the solution the following day.
WebSudoku is good site. They offer billions of puzzles in four different levels of difficulty. And, using cookies, they keep track of how many puzzles you’ve solved at each level and your fastest and average times. They also have a link to Jigsawdoku.
When you run out of domain name choices, you sometimes have to try alternate spellings. Soduku.org is another decent website. When you solve a puzzle at any of the four difficulty levels, you enter your name and that’s how they keep track of your scores. There’s a list of the top scorers, but it’s pretty obvious that the top ones were not solved by individuals. You can also download puzzles to print out and solve offline.
One more: SudokuShack. Tutorials, puzzles, links, and more. And of COURSE you can play online, too. No timing going on, so you can relax and solve away. The interface is VERY much like Soduku.org, so I’m guessing they’re related.
Some of these sites allow you to enter more than one number in a box, in case you’re not sure. That can come in handy.
Anyway, there you go. Bookmark what you like and solve in whatever style you prefer: timed or untimed, online or downloaded. Enjoy!
