okay guys this is the thing - I love puzzles - crosswords, logic, codebreakers, I can't help myself I've always enjoyed words! Then along came Sudoku, huh thought I , whats the fuss all about ,its only a bunch of numbers! I managed to sneer and ignore this phenonomen for a long time but eventually it tempted me to try, now don't get me wrong I didn't jump in with both feet it snuck up on me bit at a time until suddenly I realised something - it had me in its hooks, I was powerless against it Sudoku has beaten me - I am in its power and cannot leave those grids blank! The big question is what does it for you words or numbers and would you ever change?

We must be like peas in a pod. I subscribe to quite a few crossword puzzle books as well as completing all the puzzles in Take A Break. I was always leaving the Sudoku puzzles for my mum to do as she loves them, she is retired and it keeps her mind active. She asked me if I wanted to learn how to do them? So she sat me down and went through it with me. Now she loses out because I don't save them for her anymore I do them, it's an addiction. In actual fact I do them before I go to bed at night. This is no lie, I used to suffer with insomnia but I started doing number crunching at night before sleep and with the suduko's I was able to sleep much better! So thanks suduko you've cured this man's insomnia! As you know I love compiling crosswords and codebreakers as much as doing them!

Hi I love puzzles and crosswords to but I do not like the ones with numbers, I have done crosswords a lot in my life and we have some magazines where you fill them out and send them in and win prizes and I have won prizes doing puzzles and crosswords so I love this but I do not understand the ones with numbers in them at all.
