Welcome to readers of Al Hayat, which is based in the United Kingdom but which spreads far and wide. We hope you enjoy playing the Sudoku puzzles which have so captivated large parts of the world.

Pappocom's Sudoku first appeared in the Conway Daily Sun, New Hampshire, USA in September 2004, and it has appeared in The Times (of London) since November 2004.

Don't be put off by some of the complicated-sounding posts in these forums. In some parts of the world they have got quite expert already. If you want help, just send in your question, and you are certain to get a friendly reply.
