Give me a crossword puzzle and I’m good to go. I can play those all day, and I finish them pretty fast. You can just call me the Crossword King… Well, until one day a co-worker of mine brought in a booklet that had the name Sukuko written across the front page. My co-worker told me that it was a neat game to play and that she would show me the rules. I never realized what I was getting myself into.
When finding out the rules of the game, it’s very easy to make a mistake and have to erase everything you’ve done. The amount of concentration that goes into finishing a puzzle is mind-blowing! And as she was showing me the ins and outs of Suduko, other co-workers and passersby began stopping and explaining how they love to play the puzzle as well. This made me feel more comfortable knowing that others play it, and had had a difficult time understanding the rules when they started as well. They told me that the game can be used similar to Chess, the more you play, the better you become, the smarter you get. Now, do I believe this true? Yes and no. The individuals who’d been playing these puzzles for a while and have mastered all the lower level puzzles (there are different difficulty levels) were keener to faster recall, better memory recall, and greater analytical abilities.
Now, a few months after playing those first games, I am breezing through puzzles, and I like them. There are all sorts of different publishers that come out with Suduko puzzle books, but I suppose most people choose based on personal preference and difficulty level. I can say that when I play these puzzles, it does feel like my brain just might be growing… a little.
Until the next post, much love, peace, and medicated hair grease.
