Electronic Sudokus

Sudoku has been in existence for so many years yet no one has ever thought of manufacturing a handheld electronic version until recently.

An Electronic Sudoku gadget basically includes a memory function for the game state and highest score recording, an automatic answer adjustment and a sleep mode.

Currently, there are two versions of this gadget.

The first one is the standard push key button or sometimes referred joy pad edition. This type of sudoku gadget offers more than 750 number puzzles, one puzzle timer, a puzzle assistant, a repeat puzzle option, 3-level skills and  sound effects.

The secound type is the touch screen ultra-chic LCD version of Electronic Sudoku. This includes more than 100,000 puzzles with 2 modes along with 4-level skills each. Just put in your formula solutions through the accessible and user-friendly easy touch screen style. The touch screen edition also includes a pause feature and a spare stylus. This is perfect for ages 8 and over and for roaming Sudoku fans.

Buying an Electronic Sudoku is a brilliant idea and works pretty well, but the disadvantage of the product is the gadget’s lack of contrast and the absence of a backlight. Thus, it is very hard to see the number entries. The reflection on the gadget’s screen is a bit distracting and it is difficult to see the grid especially during daytime.

Electronic Sudoku is very much addictive though it’s an electronic puzzle. I guess it has the same pull factor like Tetris (for those who are old enough to remember that). You can play anytime, anywhere, with the handheld user friendly Electronic Sudoku.
