Play Suduko Online

Posted in Geek at 3:31 pm by David Bradley -- 1 Comment

Anyone who has not yet caught the Sudoku bug, has obviously either been living on another planet during the last year, or just does not like these frustratingly addictive number puzzles. Anyway, I’ve syndicated a daily Sudoku feed for Sciencebase readers, either click the Suduko snapshot on the homepage or play suduko online here.

If you know of or produce a better version of the online game available for syndication please let me know.

    I hadn’t bothered looking before, but the name Sudoku is apparently a short form of a Japanese phrase that means literally “digits must remain single”. It is a trademark of Japanes puzzle publisher Nikoli. Other Japanese publishers refer to the puzzle as Nanpure (Number Place, which is what it is known as in the US), which was its original title. I suspect that the name Sudoku having caught on in the UK and Europe mean would make it very likely that the name will become generic in the way that aspirin and hoover did.
