Puzzle the Whole World with Sudoku Daily




What are you into during your break time? Do you spend it with a game? Do you know that majority of people around the world are addicted to the puzzle game named the Sudoku. It is because they believed that it is one of the best stress relievers since it can make them relax and exhilirated at the same time.





Most of the players of these puzzle games are the persons who are finding a way out from the busy world. According to them, Sudoku may be very difficult but it greatly helps to maintain the activeness of their minds while relaxing. Because of their fondness to Sudoku, they make always sure that they get a copy of their Sudoku daily.





How did the Sudoku Daily start?





The Sudoku was at first a Japanese puzzle game but others said that it was a Chinese game. It came into existence at the 18th century, which is about 200 years ago. The puzzle has just recently swept the world by storm and is being played almost everywhere.





It is actually a puzzle of numbers but it is not Math as what others would think. Therefore, you do not have to worry if you were only getting 75 percent on your Math grade when you were still in high school. Sudoku does not even require a player to have a basic knowledge of the game. This means that anybody can play it.





Sudoku can be played daily wherever you like at any time. It can even become a great “time consuming” game. This is just the same as waiting for a cab, spending vacation on a resort and/or having a doctor’s appointment.





It is a puzzle but a complicated one which can trick you for a long period of time. Patience, concentration and enough time is what you needed to complete the puzzle.





There are actually four types/versions of puzzle, which is presented in the Sudoku Daily, they are the:





• Classic Daily – this Sudoku has 200,000 exclusive and addicting puzzles. It features different levels of complexity, hints and strategies, timer and a personalized background. You can play it on your computer or just print if you want.





• Monster Daily – this Sudoku puzzle is different from the usual Sudoku you get daily. It consists of a 16 x 16 grid, 4 x 4 blocks and each block has 16 cells. Sounds confusing, doesn’t it? It can be, especially if you did not try to find out the mechanics of the game. In a standard Sudoku, only the numbers from 1 to 9 are placed in but in Monster, numbers from 1 to 16 and letters from A to F are place in each row, cell and 4 x 4 blocks. However, it has the same rule as the standard Sudoku.





• Kids Sudoku Daily – this has become a huge trend for growing up kids. This puzzle is the best way to develop their logical skills while they are having fun. Kids’ ages from seven above can start playing the puzzle. Parents do not have to worry if their children do not know how to count yet since this puzzle do not really require a player to have extensive knowledge in Math.





• Squiggly Sudoku Daily - this Sudoku game is different from the standard Sudoku. It is because the 9 x 9 grid is divided into 9 different shapes. However, each shape still contains nine cells. It also applies the same rule with the standard Sudoku – numbers must only appear once in each row, column and shape. This puzzle can be very difficult especially to most beginners because it looks more complicated and hard to solve.





With all these four version of the Sudoku Daily, you will not have a hard time solving it. Why? Because each of the puzzle, has its own feature or characteristics, which may help you, decide for the one you will choose to play everyday. However, since all of these puzzles are given on a daily basis over the internet, it would be good if you choose one today, the other tomorrow and so on.





Lastly, always follow the rule when playing the Sudoku Daily to avoid confusion and starting again.
