Hooray For Me!

Hubby Tony and I have a newspaper subscription that includes the e-edition six days a week and one physical paper on Sunday. Recently the company discontinued the printed Monday edition, but includes those puzzles with the Sunday ones. I've been enjoying the extra crossword and word puzzles, which last me for days.

Even though I am better at putting together words than I am at anything to do with numbers, I even occasionally take a stab at completing the Sudoku. If you're not familiar with the puzzle, the goal is to fill a 9x9 grid with the numbers 1-9, ensuring each number appears only once in every row, column, and 3x3 box. The Monday puzzle has a difficulty of one star, but I usually only get halfway before my faulty logic trips me up.

Today, for the first time in history I actually completed an entire puzzle!

    I'm just the opposite. Sudoku is easy compared to crosswords. If I had to complete a crossword to get out of jail, I'd be in there for life.

    Congrats! I love crosswords but have never really warmed to Sudoku.

    Neato. I didn't know what Sudoku was. Just heard the name.

    You are helping your brain. However, for me, just looking at that puzzle gave me the heebie jeebies. I hate stuff like that. It only frustrates me, especially if it's numbers, but even word puzzles give me the creeps.
