Su Doku for Dummies

The pages are too small to write in the numbers. But if you do not have internet to do them online, it works.

Among the very first SUDOKU books, but it remains the best. My husband keeps a stack of this specific book on hand so he can immediately start over once he completes the book. He has worked many other Sudoku books, but he always returns to this one. [If you have a good memory, well, you might be able to work this book once or twice. The benefit of a poor memory is the joy of working on SU DOKU FOR DUMMIES forever.]

I bought this book because I loved "The Big Book of Sudoku for Dummies" and I've bought so many other sudoku books that were no challenge at all despite being labeled as hard puzzles. So I looked to see if they made an updated version and ordered this one and there are way too many "easy" puzzles and only a few pages of ones that take me more then 5 mins to complete.

Great way for my parents to learn!

These were difficult at first, but I kept at it until it made sense to me.

Perfect book for my husband. He really is studying this game. I purchased this book for him and he enjoys the book!

Book was in excellent condition. I had finished book 3 before I got book 1 and 2. I have gone thru 32 of book 1. They are as expected.

This is the best book I have seen for not only puzzle instructions but also strategies. It's wonderful and gives the beginner and not so beginner a fair and excellent advantage for Su Doku solving.

There isn't really much to learn about how Sudoku works: the basic rules are pretty simple. How to succeed with the puzzles is another matter, and it seems to me that nobody so far has explained verbally how to do the really difficult ones. The only way to learn is by practice, I suppose. This book gives you 26 pages of explanation, and 240 puzzles, which are graded Easy, Tricky, Tough and Diabolical. I wish there was some attempt to explain how to do a few of the hardest; practice hasn't made perfect in my case. But working through so many has certainly improved my skills, and I can do about 50% of the Tough ones. I think advice on the kind of pencils and erasers to use would be helpful, although I suppose any fool can eventually work that out for themselves, and the same applies to methodology. I hate Suduko, actually. Give me a good cryptic crossword any day, which can offer intellectual challenge and occasional wit. But Sudoku has a horrible fascination and is curiously addictive.

Lots of puzzles. The tips only go so far but I have been able to progress to the tough ones eventually. Still challenging and I have almost finished the book.

Have been doing Su Doku for a while but bought this due to reviews. It's ok but but quite honestly didn't find it any better than Carol Vorderman, etc.

Easy to understand and helpful

A very good read for serious atarters.Anyone who is unsure about how to play this game should purchase this book
