Try solving alphabetical Wordokus instead of Sudokus

In my previous post, I was writting about different versions of Sudoku Puzzles available. This time I will tell you about even more versions of Sudoku Puzzles.

Lets first mention couple of more popular Sudoku puzzles, before discussing a Wordoku versions.

There was one especially popular version of Sudoku Puzzle in year 2005. This was a 3 x 3 dimensional grid puzzle invented by Dion Church and then first brought to public by Daily Telegraph. This grid variation rapidly became a hit among those who wanted an ultimate puzzle challenge.

Besides Sudoku puzzle, which are played by using numbers, there also exist alphabetical versions of Sudoku. Instead of numbers, you use letters. You will find these named as "Godoku" or "Wordoku".

It is generally known that these alphabetical versions are especially difficult to solve if you have only a few "givens" to start with.

You will usually find the letters needed for the puzzle beneath the puzzle. The solution of Wordoku is an interesting things by itself as well: The word is spelled out, lined up between the top left bottom and left corners of the grid.

As you can see, this little twist put the puzzle to completely different level. Oftentimes you will be able to guess the word before even solving the puzzle completely.

The Wordoku puzzles are my favourite type of puzzles in general. Try it sometimes and you will find out why! Until next time, have fun and take care!
