Last night on WGN talk radio here in Chicago I first heard of a puzzle on paper -- Sudoku. The basics of it is simple, but there are different levels of the puzzle available. Apparently, it's a craze now, but I'd never heard of it. Been around for at least 20 years. I can see it being addictive for those who like this kind of thing. It's explained and there are puzzles at different levels at Daily Sudoku.

HELP! Rebus/Pictogram Puzzles... I thought I spotted some here at TVCH but can't locate them again. Was this a wild halucination, a pipe dream, or a reality? Deanofwords is really good at those, and I'm trying to point him in the right direction.

We used to have some in the Games section, Mame, but I can't find them either. Perhaps they've been cleaned up. Graceunderfyre used to do them for us. She's recently started posting again after a little absence, but she is off on vacation today. Maybe we can get her to do them again when she returns.

That would be great, thanks Vee! At least now I know I wasn't hallucinating. LOL. I'll look out for them when Grace returns.

Click Sudoku...I came here to tell you about this fun "new" numbers puzzle and I see that Color has already mentioned it way back in August! Our local newspaper publishes these puzzles twice a week, and they will alternate between easy, moderate and difficult. It's definitely addicting once you get started on solving this great little number puzzles.

I love Sudoku, our paper has it ever day and three on Sundays. I've also bought a couple of Pennypress books of it. Very addictive. Every day I do the Sudoku, crossword and Jumble, good for the old brain. I also love Logic puzzles. Oh heck, I love almost every board game, cards, video game etc that I have ever played. One of my favourite sites: bigfishgames.com

I've been doing Sudoku puzzles for years, before they were a craze, and before they were even called Sudoku. They're simply one of many numbers related puzzles that are provided in puzzle magazines. I love Dell Logic Problems, have done those for years too. I love to get lost in one, and work for hours on it. There's great satisfaction in completing them. It's a good way to sort of blank out reality and get lost in something too. Sort of like TVCH. Never mind.

Weinermr - I love the Logic ones that are 3 - 5 parts long and the last part you use the conclusions of all the other parts, Pennypress uses a detective solving a mystery for the story of these.

www.sudoku.com has a great program for playing Sudoku on your computer at varying levels and you can make your own and print them off if you prefer to do them on paper. We ((me, DW and 2 kids) did the free trial and used it so much that we paid the $15 to keep the program. The code let us install it on all our computers and now I see someone doing one almost every day. Weinermr: I just Googled the Dell Logic Problems and they look great. I think I will order some of their back issues packs and check them out in person.

Vee if you like online jigsaw puzzles you can subscribe to get one emailed to you daily. http://www.jigzone.com/ It's nice to be able to change the shape of the pieces and the number of pieces in the puzzles as well.

http://www.websudoku.com/ This is another favorite Sudoku site. It lets you pick your level easy, medium, hard, & evil. It also has options where you can select to help point out if you have any mistakes. Colodeagua, again I thank you for bringing these puzzles to my attention. We have been thoroughly enjoying them. In the new People magazine (The sexiest man alive issue) there is a quote from Neil Patrick Harris that says these are just one step below opium on the addiction scale.

Thanks for the link, Mary. I like that these can be played online instead of downloaded. It's nice to have the choice whether to print and do later or do no online.

I love doing on line puzzles, some are just way to difficult for me though. Thanks everyone for the great links.
