A brief interlude about my fruitless love affair with Sudoku

Sudoku is a perfect game and I play it all the time. I like using the app with the cartoon pencil and the :) in the title. I also buy the books from the dollar store but those are not always great because the smaller books don’t stay open comfortably and the bigger books are filled with other bullshit puzzles. Also, I only want to do the level hard ones and the books come with all the levels. On the app I dabble in “expert” although I’m not an expert so it often ends in frustration. See, the thing with Sudoku is that at a certain point, you have to know these very specific tricks to solve it properly. Obviously, you can guess the answers though doing that feels existentially awful. I usually quit the puzzle if I get to the point where I need to guess because I’d rather quit than win by chance alone. I’d call winning by chance alone shameful and an example of bad sportsmanship, but that’s only because I don’t play real sports and my priorities are ridiculous.
