Sudoku

was invented in the 20^th

century in Japan, but it became well-known there in the 1980`s. The

name of the game means �placement puzzle�, and sudoku is the

Japanese word for it. There was also something similar to sudoku in

the United States during the same time. The famous puzzle maker

Howard Garnes, invented something which can be comparable to it.

After some time it became as an option of sudoku and was known under

the name �number place�.

Solving

sudoku puzzles is not such an easy job to be done. So you need to

focus your mind and use all your logical skills in order to learn how

to play it. After that it could be a lot of fun for you. There are

three main processes which are used in combination during the solving

of one sudoku puzzle. They can be summarized as scanning, marking up

solutions and analyzing. If you can invent your own strategy or

follow the ones that are shown to you, the result will be one solved

puzzle, while having fun during solving it, and the best is the

feeling that you have successfully won the game.

If you

are a beginner, the best way to start is to

play it step by step. You can start with scanning one row or one

column. Of course there are some numbers already given, so you can

start from the place where you have the most numbers. One thing leads

to another, so you can quickly find what the nine numbers in the

column are, or in the row which you have chosen. After that you can

check the 3x3 matrix where now you have more numbers. In such a way,

step by step you can guess what the other missing numbers in the rest

of the matrixes are.

You have to

know that it is not fun trying to remember what the possibilities for

the missing numbers are. That is why you can use the upper or the

down corner of one square where you can write down what you are

thinking. That is how you can calculate different variants and find

out which one the best fits, without having all these numbers only in

your head.

And if

you really want to master this kind of game, you need to practice

sudoku again and again. Just like everything else, you can learn it

and become better with practicing it. That

is one really exciting game, so for sure you will like the

experience.
