I have a confession: I’m officially addicted to Sudoku. It started innocently enough—one lazy Sunday morning, flipping through a newspaper, when I saw a neat 9x9 grid with some numbers filled in. “How hard can it be?” I asked myself. Famous last words. The first puzzle I tried seemed easy. I started filling in numbers, feeling confident, and then… nothing fit. My pen hovered over the paper, my brow furrowed, and suddenly, a thirty-minute “simple” puzzle had turned into an epic battle of logic versus stubbornness. And that’s when it hit me: Sudoku is more than numbers—it’s a mental tug-of-war, and I was hooked.
