Sudoku games have a fascinating history that intertwines logic and fun, capturing the hearts of players across the globe. Originating in the late 18th century, the precursors of modern Sudoku began in Switzerland. The puzzle gained immense popularity in Japan in the late 20th century, leading to its current form, which we love today. It was introduced to the United States in the 2000s, quickly becoming a favorite among puzzle enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. The simplicity of the 9x9 grid and the challenge of filling it with numbers from 1 to 9 without repeating them in rows, columns, or boxes make Sudoku appealing.
