Thanks for the book recommendation! My dad's 75th birthday is in September and he is a mathematician so he loves problems and puzzles to solve. If only he could solve my anxiety problem after my mother passing for me. Ha. But that sounds like a great book for him and me and maybe I can snag a copy too and we can work on it together. Thanks for the idea! ♥️ I too never know how to spell Sudoku... I think I butchered it 3 times just now writing it out, lol.
Glad you had a nice trip. I love those trips with the hubs that are just us and we are exploring. It's a gift and a blessing all of its own, travel buddies for life. Xoxo. 💗
I'm a lifelong sucker for Tetris and various forms of Solitaire. I was on the Wordle bandwagon with everyone else for a while (I still enjoy it, but I forget to play). I attempt the occasional crossword but I'm not very good at them, they are sort of their own language. I've tried Sudoku a few times and found it challenging but fun. I can see a common theme across all of these games/puzzles of the weirdly deep satisfaction that comes from putting things into their rightful place.
Yes, it offers us control over a small domain, and within that arena we can solve its issues. The idea that there is an order that can be ferreted out and restored is deeply satisfying.
I know what you mean about crosswords... they are about learning a style and you may not be able to solve every clue. But in Sudoku it's plain numbers and you can solve it with persistence and logic.

Thanks Laura, your comments are always so lovely! ❤️
Daily game I play: Movie Grid. It’s online and a real challenge for movie nerds (the more obscure the film answer, the better the score).
That sounds like a game I can recommend to some of my pals, thanks!
