“Sudoku has been no exception. It took me a week to even begin to understand the process. Helpful hints meant nothing to me as I floundered about trying to figure out what didn’t seem to be all that complicated. Nine rows of nine and nine boxes of nine—simple enough? Boy did I feel like an idiot. And then the fog began to clear. Not much really but at least I began to see how the rhythms work and I have completed my first easy puzzle. It took ten days but I am not complaining.”
“There was one Sudoku puzzle that took me days to solve. I kept reopening it, convinced I was close, only to hit the same wall again and again. Eventually, I stopped trying to force it. I closed the app and ignored Sudoku completely for a day. When I came back, the solution felt obvious. That puzzle taught me one of the biggest lessons Sudoku has to offer: stepping away is part of solving.”
