A growing number of people are showing that they wish to master Sudoku and become Sudokists, thanks to a simple seeming, yet at times deceptively difficult, number puzzle that’s quickly becoming one of the World’s main pastimes.
Sudoku is a number-based brain teaser that requires no math skills. A bit of logic and deduction and you can become a master Sudokist. Although variations have been introduced in recent years the game is most frequently played on a 9×9 grid, filled with a few “starter” numbers. The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row and 3×3 region contains the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once. Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of three “directions,” hence the puzzle’s name, from the Japanese words su (”number”) and doku (”single”).
Originally called simply “Number Place” the first sudoku was created by Howard Garnes, a freelance puzzle constructor, in 1979. Decades later, it has become immensely popular, with millions of people gearing up for the challenge each hour of every day.
