Sudoku Puzzles
I am having severe memory problems because of chemo or radiation to my head and neck area.
Or it could be pain medicine or something else.
Anyway my doctor told me to try these puzzles and to see how i do with them.
I do them online and after about 5 moves i hit the button and see if i am right or wrong. If i am wrong i just have to figure out where i messed up.
I do everything in my head but i was thinking if i wrote it down i could do it faster but i do not think it would help me think better.
My brain needs all the help it can get.

I do little on line puzzle games on my Ipad at the end of the day. I haven't tried that type, but I've thought about it. I used to do crossword puzzles in the bed. What is funny is looking at them the next day. I had put nonsense in some of the boxes and words trailed off the page where you could tell the moment I fell asleep was exactly when I was writing..... 0 -
Sudoku is my favorite but I do them in written form in books you can get in the checkout aisle. I only like the 4 star difficulty. And I don't solve them all. Believe me. Most of the time if I put it down and come back to it, I'll see something and break it. Getting stumped doesn't bother me. Putting down an incorrect number then working ahead on a bad entry bothers me. 0 -
I do them on my phone everyday, when I ride the bike at the gym I get too bored so I have to do something to occupy my mind so I do about 2-3 everyday. I always do the "hard", I can get 100% of them and sometimes the "expert", I can get about 60% of them.
Just a hint, never guess, there is ALWAYS a correct one to put in somewhere. Sometimes just getting 1 somewhere on the puzzle will blow the whole thing up and then be easy to solve.0 -
I do the one in the newspaper everyday.
I figured out a system that works good for me.
I enjoy them.0 -

The puzzles in my daily paper come with one to six stars in difficulty. Through 4 stars are hardly any effort.
Beyond that I use my printer to copy & enlarge the puzzle to make it easier to work on. You have to put all possible numbers in the squares to work them.
If you really get stuck you can cheat by trying a square with 2 possible answers & try either one.Then circle everything you put in after that. If that solves the puzzle, fine, if it proves wrong then that means the other number was correct. You then erase all the circled entries & go forward with the other number
Today is Sunday & I get 2 Sunday papers so I have plenty of all kinds of puzzles to keep me busy today..
The triple Sudoku can sometimes be an interesting challenge. I also enjoy the crypto quote puzzles.0
