Family Time Crossword

Wouldn't it be great to have various members of the family all solving the same puzzle? That's the idea behind Timothy Parker's latest syndicated puzzle, the FAMILY TIME CROSSWORD. The puzzle is a professional, symmetrical puzzle that features clues for both adults and children. The kids' clues are denoted with a (K) and are purposely clued for their level. This puzzle is a great way for parents, grandparents, guardians, teachers, etc. to interact with kids in a fun setting and work together to reach a common goal. The whole idea centers on quality family time -- something needed now more than ever.

Hidato

by Dr. Gyora Benedek

Star Trek's Mr. Spock would have loved "Hidato" because it's based totally on logic--no guesswork is needed. Each Hidato puzzle starts with a grid partially filled with numbers. The goal is to fill the grid with consecutive numbers that connect horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Each puzzle has only one possible solution. The first and last numbers of a puzzle will be in circle markers.

Universal Kakuro

UNIVERSAL KAKURO is a cross between traditional crosswords and Sudoku. The idea behind Kakuro is very simple. Just like Sudoku, you must fit the numbers 1 to 9 into a grid of squares so that no number is repeated within a defined area. And just like a crossword, there's a grid of filled blocks and clues to solve.

Kakuro puzzles are best solved using logic. Some of the same logic can be used as in Sudoku, but you also need a bit of math because with Kakuro there is a second restraint: not only must the numbers not repeat within a clue run, they also must add up to given totals--these totals replace traditional word clues found in a crossword.

Universal Sudoku

by David Bodycombe

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU is the hottest new worldwide puzzle that uses numbers instead of words. It's a grid of 81 squares, divided into nine blocks of nine squares each. Some of the squares contain a digit. The goal is to fill in the empty squares so that the digits 1 through 9 appear just once in every row, column and individual block.

The aficionados of modern-day Sudoku are keen to point out that it is not a mathematical problem. Logic is what's required.
