Great.

One more thing to keep me from my job, my family, and my responsibilities...... :D

Neat!

Not quite as easy to manipulate as the sudoku on the LA Times website, though.

Seriously. Hard is going to be a blank screen that just yells, "Wrong!" whenever you click on it.

Easy setting is easy--anyone who can tell the difference between one digit and another should be able to do it (there isn't even any math involved. You could set a game up to use any nine symbols you liked). On the other hand, I get frustrated with ones that are difficult and just don't bother trying.

I'm a tard. Failure to follow directions. Didn't read that each 3x3 grid had to have all 9 as well.

Does the difficulty increase after a certain number of games, or is it set to always be easy?

Edit: D'oh. I'm on medium now, so I guess that's a yes.

Never tried Sudoku. I hear it's all the rage now, but numbers really don't interest me as much as words. I'll always be a crossword and Scrabble guy.

It's not really a numbers puzzle. It's a logic puzzle. Letters can be subsitituted for numbers - in the ESPN magazine they have a suduku using the nine baseball fielding positions. It can become addicting. ;)

No, Creator is the real scrabble sorcerer. I merely hijacked his mojo for a few matches. He was back on form tonight, order has been restored and the Arch of Time remains intact.

Hey, would be nice to play you, danlo. :)

Crosswords, you can't have sudoku without a crossword. You also need a little funny cartoon at the bottom.
