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 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.

Sudoku X (9x9)
This puzzle is a variation on classic Sudoku where each
shaded diagonal must also contain each digit exactly
once. The extra constraints provided by the diagonals
allow Sudoku X puzzles to have dramatically fewer givens
to start. Experienced solvers find this variation fun and
refreshing.
Objective: Fill remaining cells with digits 1 through 9 so
that each digit occurs exactly once in each row, column,
heavily outlined 3x3 block, and each shaded diagonal.
Tips: Start with cells on the diagonals, since they have
the most constraints. Avoid guessing; unless you can
remember every move you made since the guess, an
incorrect guess is hard to undo. You can keep track of
possible answers using “pencil marks” (small digits drawn
lightly in the corners of a cell) but if you need more than 3
pencil marks in a cell, it is generally not worth it.
Puzzles are available 7x weekly. Daily puzzles scale from
easiest on Monday to hardest by Sunday. For tips and
tutorials, visit us at http://numberpuzzles.com/SudokuX

Objective: Fill remaining cells with digits 1 through 6 so
that each digit occurs exactly once in each row, column,
heavily outlined 3x2 block, and each shaded diagonal.
Tips: Start with cells on the diagonals, since they have
the most constraints. Avoid guessing; unless you can
remember every move you made since the guess, an
incorrect guess is hard to undo. You can keep track of
possible answers using “pencil marks” (small digits drawn
lightly in the corners of a cell) but if you need more than 3
pencil marks in a cell, it is generally not worth it.
The cells near the center are particularly powerful.
Consider the digit 3 shown in the example to the right.
The red lines show how it projects into neighboring 3x2
blocks. As a result, the block above it can contain the
digit 3 only in cells A or B, and the block beside it can
have its 3 only in cells C or D. (In this case, C.)
