Sudoku Ultra is the most user-friendly implementation of the flagship logic puzzle, allowing players to enter possible values into any empty box before wiping them out once they’re sure.
KenKen takes Sudoku to the next level. Unlike Sudoku where each number plays the role of a symbol, players must take into account the numerical value of the number and perform arithmetic.
Similarly, Suko requires players to enter all the numbers into a grid and ensure that the individual totals are met.
But it doesn’t get more difficult than Killer Sudoku: none of the first squares are filled and in addition to the rows, columns and 3 by 3 regions, each square is part of a larger cell and also has a sum.
Players can choose from dozens of other daily puzzles via the new puzzle page, accessible on your smartphone, tablet and desktop web browser.
Among them are favorites exclusive to the Ny Breaking, including GuessWord, which puts a twist on the popular five-letter guessing game.
GuessWord gives players six chances to find a five-letter word, discovering which letters and where they appear along the way.
The second most popular in the section is MasterQuiz – a quick six-round quiz that tests readers on their current affairs and general knowledge.
Meanwhile, Mindbender focuses on mental acuity with a handful of questions on arithmetic and verbal reasoning. The shortest of the bunch is Quick Quiz – a rapid-fire five-round game.
