Addiction, Time Wasting or

Excercise For The Little Grey Cells?

I never understood Sudoku, I couldn't see the point of it but last March when I visited my darling daughter in Australia she explained how it worked. I bought a puzzle book and became hooked, and now I have installed it on my phone!


Oh dear, whilst I'm sure there has to be a certain amount of brain activity playing any games, I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is addictive and time wasting! But also fun and challenging!

  2. I know the feeling Sudoku can sneak up on you. It’s addictive for sure, but I agree it’s also a good little workout for the brain. A guilty pleasure that’s also stimulating, I’d say.

  3. I resisted Sudoku for a long while. Now I do it every day for a short while. Wordle, though, I cannot be bothered with.

  6. I’m not a Sudoku player but I am a player of other games…..and yes they are time wasters, addictive as well as being exercise for grey cells 🤭

  7. I like a bit of sudoku, thought I wouldn't enjoy the online version but find I do and saves buying the books!

    1. I like that I don't have to physically erase numbers when I get them wrong!

  11. Polly, I think you are amazing! I also love thinking games, but I do the Dell and Penny Press mixed crosswords...cryptograms, the variety. I am so glad you you got into Sudoku and that you are enjoying it!
