I think Str8ts is as good as Sudoku. It is actually more fun to fill out. Good news for puzzle fans.

I was skeptical at first but after discovering the puzzle in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung I play everyday. I actually agree it is more fun than Sudoku. I bought the app for Str8ts9 x 9 it has 800 + puzzles. I have enjoyed them on the train on my way to work.

Yes Str8ts is very impressive. Waiting for it to hit the papers here in Mexico City. I enjoy this one a lot. Very simple and very challenging. Just wished they localized the app into Spanish
