LOL! I wouldn't, never... or at least not intentionally!
6:30 pm
hurshy

Sudoku Must Only Be Done On A Clear Head
6:31 pm

hurshy

atalante said you found today's babble grid "easy" - even though the rest of us are ready to class it as Worst Grid Ever
6:33 pm
sprite

Lol! It was such a great grid! Wonderful words, I was sorry I had so little time to play today and had to hurry through it. Used Lickety's to save time.
6:33 pm
hurshy

ah... that would help. i got list for the last 30 only.
6:34 pm
sprite

Yeah, I think that made a big difference. Lots of words I wouldn't have thought of otherwise until the very end. If I had known I would be up this late, I would have saved some :)
6:34 pm
hurshy

6:37 pm
sprite

6:37 pm

8:40 pm
pthomp

each numer 1-9 appears in each row - each column - & each box only one=ce. your job, should you chose to accept it is to place the numbers so that the conform to the rules.
8:41 pm
AprilD

pt, are points detracted when you put a number in a row that already has it?
8:42 pm
pthomp

no points just the solution. the grid will turn red if incorrect number is placed
8:42 pm
AprilD

thanks!
8:43 pm
pthomp

you can place preliminary numbers by clicking the box then Shft /number. (green) or Alt/number (red)
8:44 pm
AprilD

well I see that it alerts me when I put the wrong number is, do I get penalized for that, or do I merely score by finishing it or not?
8:45 pm
pthomp

score by finishing . new puzzle every 24 hours
8:45 pm
AprilD

and what is a strategy to use? is there one?
