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.

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.
