While Sudoku had French origins, the modern version was created by Howard Garns who called the game Number Place in the 1970's. It later became known as Sudoku after a Japanese company made the game popular again. Sudoku is short for the Japanese words Suji wa dokushin ni kagiru which translate as "the digits must be single" in English.
Oh good God - there is a knack of doing this which I can't fathom out!
ReplyDeleteI have friends who can do the whole set of games in 15 or less minutes!
It will be interesting to see how many of your readers can do this.
