I've become addicted to this game. I saw it in the Washington Post one day on the way to work next to the crossword. Anyone else play this before?

Rook has--I don't know if he travels into this forum often--but he's a junkie for sure. Speaks for your intelligence that you work it. I did my first one yesterday--took me about 22 min. Rook did it in 5. He always has been better at that sort of thing than me. I am just impressed with myself that I did something that required the actual use of my brain and finished it!!

I think the fastest I have finished one (with the help turned off) was 5 and half minutes or so. And thats on easy. I haven't tried one on a harder level.

When I first tried to do one on paper I gave up - it drove me nuts. But after downloading the program I am totally hooked.

Linderbee doesn't give herself enough credit - I've done lots of Sudoku puzzles and that was a tougher than average one that she finished in 20 min. Anyhow, yeah I've been on a Sudoku kick lately. Here are some of the nice ones you can play online:

I like these best:

This one is nice but it only seems to work in IE and not Firefox

I enjoy doing the puzzles on paper actually - any good sites/puzzles you recommend?

I actually don't do much with puzzles except crosswords, and thats how I came across the game. I have only played by downloading it from the site that was listed in the paper. If you have any other cool games like this, let me know!

I guess bookworm is a game I liked? Popcap.com
