You see people playing it everywhere… on the subway, in the airport, at coffee shops (even, perhaps, during Dr. Johnson's stimulating lecture on sedimentary rocks). It is Sudoku, the addictive numbers game that has taken the world by storm and could soon replace the crossword as the most popular solitary mind game.

If you are one of the few remaining people who have yet to try your hand at Sudoku, it's really quite simple. You place numbers in 1x1 inch squares so that each row, column, and 3x3 inch square contains only one instance of the numbers from one to nine. Each 9x9 inch puzzle has a single unique solution, and it's up to you to use logic and reasoning to figure it out. Sudoku is not about addition or subtraction – it is about patterns and deduction – so you don't have to be a mathematical genius to be an accomplished Sudoku puzzler.

Sudoku took an interesting path toward international fame. From France to the United States to Japan, versions of the puzzle have come in and out of favor in print publications for over 100 years. The modern incarnation was invented by Howard Garns in 1979 and was published under a different name, but when it hit Japan in 1986, they renamed it Sudoku. However, its British publication in The Times in 2004 is what really sparked its rise in worldwide popularity and recognition. As a natural progression from its printed roots, Sudoku is now digitally available through the Internet, and your favorite new game has an extra twist that has the competition heating up.

The devoted Sudoku fans who created the www.sudzone.com website bring a new angle to the Sudoku phenomenon – that of comparing the scores of individual contestants to add an edge to the puzzling experience. At their site, you can prove your Sudoku prowess or see how you measure up to other players. Each day, you can visit the site to take a stab at being the Sudoku master of the day!
