Puzzled

So the Gazette gives me just enough Sudoku puzzles to get me mildly addicted, then it cuts back to "very easy" and "easy" puzzles with the occasional "medium" thrown in.

The medium puzzles are OK; it takes 15 or 20 minutes for me to do one, and that's about all the time I can spare anyway. But the others are at connect-the-dots level.

What's the Gazoo trying to do: Drive readers to an alternative publication that could provide a more challenging puzzle?

God I love those puzzles too. USA Today got me addicted to them. They go by the star system, 1 star being easy and 5 stars being hardest, so they just add a star every day and then start over. So its evened out that way.

Time to find a new source of puzzles!

My favorite site is Fiendish Sudoku. New puzzles every day at five levels of difficulty, plus an online solving grid that can give hints and step-by-step solutions. It also does a nice job of printing out puzzles without all the surrounding web page junk.
