Following is the brief description about "Sudoku" as found on Wikipedia.
The name "Sudoku" is the Japanese abbreviation of a longer phrase, "Suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru", meaning "the digits must occur only once". It is a trademark of puzzle publisher Nikoli Co. Ltd. in Japan. Japanese publishers refer to the puzzle as Number Place, the original U.S. title, or as "Nanpure" for short. Some non-Japanese publishers spell the title as "Su Doku".
The numerals in Sudoku puzzles are used for convenience; arithmetic relationships between numerals are irrelevant. Any set of distinct symbols will do; letters, shapes, or colours may be used without altering the rules. In fact, ESPN published Sudoku puzzles substituting the positions on a baseball field for the numbers 1-9. Dell Magazines, the puzzle's originator, has been using numerals for Number Place in its magazines since they first published it in 1979.
The attraction of the puzzle is that the rules are simple, yet the line of reasoning required to solve the puzzle may be complex. The level of difficulty can be selected to suit the audience. The puzzles are often available free from published sources and may be custom-made using software.
