There’s something about Sudoku that’s both infuriating and strangely addictive. It’s like a friend who teases you relentlessly but somehow leaves you smiling at the end of the day. I didn’t grow up playing Sudoku—it wasn’t part of my childhood routine—but somewhere along the way, I discovered it, and it quickly became a guilty pleasure I couldn’t resist.

I remember the first time I actually tried a Sudoku puzzle. I had one of those “Daily Puzzle” apps on my phone, and I figured, “Why not?” The first puzzle was labeled “Easy.” Piece of cake, right? I filled in a few numbers, felt clever, and then… everything fell apart. One wrong placement, and suddenly I was spiraling into confusion. I could feel my brain twisting itself into knots as I tried to make sense of the grid. And yet, despite the frustration, I couldn’t stop.
