To its fans, it is addictive. To the media, it is a promising money-maker. Sudoku, an old puzzle long popular in Japan is fast gaining【C1】______(popular)the world over. In Britain, a sudoku book is a bestseller and national newspapers are competing【C2】______(feverish) to publish the most, and the most fiendish, puzzles. Meanwhile, the puzzle is being published in newspapers from Australia to Croatia to America. Even the New York Times is considering【C3】intr______sudoku in its Sunday magazine, alongside its venerated crossword.
The game’s appeal is that its rules are as simple as its solution is complex. On a board of nine-by-nine【C4】sq______, most of them empty, players must fill in each one【C5】______ a number so that each row(left to right), column(top to bottom)and block(in bold lines)contains 1 to 9. Advanced【C6】ver______use bigger boards or add letters from the alphabet.
Sudoku—the Japanese word combines "number" and "single"—seems perfectly suited to modern times, a puzzle for an era when people are more【C7】nu______than literate. And like globalism itself, sudoku transcends borders by【C8】______(require)no translation.
The overall business of puzzles is hard to measure【C9】______revenues in America from magazines, syndicated newspaper sales, books, and online and phone services are almost $200m annually. The New York Times earns millions of dollars a year from its crosswords and hundreds of thousands from a special phone service that provides【C10】______(hint). Over 30,000 people pay $35 a year for the newspaper’s e-mail version.
