Woodworking Games Puzzles

Do you remember when there was only one type of sudoku puzzle?  It was a simple (or sometimes not so simple) 3×3 grid using only the numbers 1 to 9.  Now, as the sudoku craze is sweeping the world, new sudoku varieties are coming out of the woodwork.  There are now so many variations on the original sudoku game, that newbies just don’t know where to start.  Here is a quick guide to some of the newer sudoku variations with basic rules.

Standard Sudoku: This is the original sudoku game (also called Number Place).  It is also referred to as a 3×3 (3 mini-grids across, 3 mini-grids down).  Each mini-grid, row, and column must contain the numbers 1 through 9.  There can be no duplicates in any row, column, or min-grid.

Sudoku 4×4 and 5×5:  This is similar to a standard sudoku, but there are either 4 mini-grids across and down, or 5 mini-grids across and down.  The 4×4 variation usually uses the numbers 1 through 16, though some versions also add in letters.  The 5×5 version uses both numbers and letter.  Again, no duplicate letters or numbers are permitted in rows, columns, or mini-grids.

Sudoku-X:  The X factor in this puzzle is simply the addition of one rule:  Each of the two corner-to-corner diagonals must not have duplicate numbers.  So, in a 3×3 sudoku-x, each column, row, mini-grid, AND the two diagonals will have the numbers 1 through 9.

Alphadoku:  Similar to a standard sudoku but uses letters of the alphabet instead of numbers.  How many numbers used will depend on how many mini-grids are across and down.

Samurai Sudoku:  Typically, 5 standard sudoku puzzles are joined together in the middle.  The first 4 full sudoku puzzles are placed separately, with the fifth puzzle placed in the very center sharing a mini-grid with each of the other 4.  Each full puzzle can be worked separately, but they must all follow the rules of the standard sudoku.

Killer Sudoku:  A killer sudoku requires simple adding.  There will still be rows, columns, and mini-grids, but the individual squares (or cells) of the puzzle will be connected (either by color or by dotted lines).  There is a small number in the upper corner of the connected cells.  The numbers that go in each of the connected cells must add up to this number.  Killer sudokus still follow all the same rules of unique numbers.

Irregular Sudoku:  These puzzles do not have square mini-grids; they are “irregular” in shape but must still contain all the numbers 1 though 9.  Standard row and column rules apply.  While these puzzles are not any more difficult than a standard sudoku, it does take a while to “train” your eye to recognize an irregular mini-grid shape.

As time goes on, sudoku authors create new sudoku variations and even combine the above sudoku games into a new puzzle.  Imagine a Killer Sudoku X Samurai with Irregular mini-grids.  Now THAT sounds like a challenge!

We all grew up playing in the arcades. With all the games present, it’s like a paradise for every kid. It’s the place to be for us during our childhood years. With all of the games available then, the arcade was on top of our favorite places. But then, these days, we don’t need to go to arcades to get our gaming fix. We can easily get them through the internet. And with a lot of online game sites available, we’ll never run out of gaming options. 

Here are some of the games that you can find online: you can play adventure games, play board games, sports games and free shooting games—just like your regular arcades. You also have fighting games, free games puzzles and strategy games online. And what’s more, you can play them for free! No need to spend on tokens when you go with free online arcade games. No need to wait for turns or deal with defective machines and controls—online gaming has just made the arcade or gaming experience a bit better. 

And online games also offer some of the game experience found in arcades. You can play against other people, enjoy good animation and sounds, and face challenging gameplay. Though the gaming experience in arcades is admittedly different, the fun and excitement you get when you play arcade games online is also in a league of its own. You won’t feel cheated or being handed out the short end of the stick with online games. As mentioned, the animation and graphics are more than enough for games of their size and format. You can say that it’s better than going to the arcades as you stay at home and not leave its comforts. Not only that, you don’t even have to spend a cent to enjoy all the games offered. You can play as often as you want. Aside from those, you also need not be limited by the arcade’s store hours. Since online, you can access the games anytime and from anywhere there’s internet connection. 

So why go to the arcade when you have a good alternative? Why not play online arcade games for a change? Though arcades are already tradition, it doesn’t hurt to try new alternatives that offer new and better services without much difference in giving out the best gaming experience. That’s why online games are the best alternatives to traditional arcade games.
