Yes, we have them in most newspapers and magazines in the UK.
Plus many books in the shops. I have one published by Carol Vorderman which
I've been tackling page by page since July.
There's over 200 puzzles and start at beginners easy and finish with
super-difficult.
I've got another two "medium difficulty" to solve before starting puzzle 111
which is classed as "difficult".
I sometimes tackle the ones in my girlfriends daily newspaper and usually find
these easy now. The ones with an X running through the middle can be very
difficult to solve.
It does depend on how many squares are already filled in but, in actual fact,
there's a logical method to solving them which works for me every time.
But that's for me to know and you to find out...... :-)
Enjoy.
