Sudoku: The Puzzle That Tests Patience and Wits Public

I’ve always loved games that make me think, but Sudoku has a special place in my heart. There’s something magical about staring at a 9x9 grid, each square a tiny mystery waiting to be solved. Some days, it’s relaxing; other days, it’s downright maddening—but I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything. The first time I truly got hooked on sudoku, I remember it vividly. I picked up a medium-level puzzle on a lazy afternoon, thinking it would be a casual pastime. Within minutes, I was completely absorbed, my eyes scanning rows and columns for clues. Every number I placed correctly felt like a small victory.
