Sudoku
Fill in the grid so that the numbers 1 through 9
appear only once in every horizontal row, every
vertical column and every 3x3 mini-box. Only
one solution is possible. No math is required.
FROM
SUDOKU TO EXERCISE YOUR MIND
BY FRANK LONGO (AARP/STERLING, 2006)
Use the clues to fill in the spaces with six-letter words that read
down, starting and ending at the number corresponding with
the clue. Words read clockwise and counterclockwise from the
top. We’ve started you off with a hint: the letter “D.”
