Introduction

S

ure, puzzles are fun. They’re a great diversion when you’re sitting on a plane or getting sneezed on in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. And if enjoyment is your one and only reason for picking up this book, you’ll get no argument from me. (After all, I enjoy a good puzzle myself!) But here’s the great news: This kind of fun is actually good for you. Specifically, it’s good for your brain. So welcome to the mental gym, where the equipment is portable, your exercise area is private, and the afterworkout shower is completely optional.

About This Book I bet that when you were a kid, you didn’t schedule physical exercise into your day. You kept your body strong by doing what felt natural: riding your bike, skipping rope, climbing trees . . . But these days, to stay in shape, chances are you’re much more deliberate. You probably don’t climb trees the way you used to, so you have to actively seek out exercise or accept that you’ll be a little weaker and slower with each passing year. The same goes for mental exercise: When you were young, you were bombarded with things that stimulated your brain, even when you weren’t sitting in a classroom. Every time you learned a new song, played a new board game, or tried a new sport, you gave your brain the stimulation it needed to stay sharp.

Brain Games For Dummies Maybe you have a job that gives you ample mental stimulation and helps keep your brain in the game. But not everyone is so lucky. Adults are often rewarded for repetition — not for trying new things. We have to perform consistently at work, create routines for our families, tackle the same household chores again and again . . . and our brains feel the effects by getting just a little weaker and slower with each passing year. That’s where mental exercise comes in. Countless articles, books, and Web sites are now devoted to the idea that if you don’t want to lose it (“it” being your mental sharpness), you’d better use it (“it” being your brain). And sure, you could give your gray matter a decent workout by dusting off that anthology of 19th-century literature that’s been sitting on your shelf since college, but doesn’t a puzzle sound like more fun? That’s why I created this book: to give your brain a challenge you’ll really enjoy, so you can get on the path to greater mental fitness and truly enjoy the workout.

Conventions Used in This Book In a couple of chapters, especially in the Part of Tens, I include a handful of Web site addresses so you can explore additional resources if you’d like. The Web addresses appear in monofont, which makes them easier to locate if you want to go back and find them after you’re done reading. Keep in mind that when this book was printed, some Web addresses may have needed to break across two lines of text. If that happened, rest assured that I didn’t put in any extra characters (such as hyphens) to indicate the break.

Introduction

So, when using one of these Web addresses, just type in exactly what you see in this book, pretending as though the line break doesn’t exist.

What You’re Not to Read If you’re in a hurry to get to the puzzles and already know how to do them, you can skip over the chapters in Part I (of course, I hope you’ll read every bit of this book, but I won’t make you promise to go back and read them later). If you do read the Part I chapters, you don’t have to read the text preceded by the Tip icon in order to understand the subject at hand. You’ll also see sidebars, text in gray boxes. Sidebars are merely asides; the information is interesting but not critical to the text. You can safely skip it.

Foolish Assumptions I try not to make any assumptions about how much experience you have with working the types of puzzles that appear in this book. That’s why I include the chapters in Part I, which help you get familiar with each type of puzzle and how to solve them. That’s also why I include puzzles of varying levels of difficulty throughout the book. Whether you’re a novice or an expert at sudoku, you’ll find puzzles to give you the challenge you need. The same goes for crosswords, cryptograms, and the other types of puzzles I include here. My only assumption is that you want to have fun and stimulate your brain at the same time. Oh, and that you bring two critical tools with you: pencils and patience!

Brain Games For Dummies

How This Book Is Organized The bulk of this book is devoted to what you came looking for: puzzles (and their answers). But in case one or more of these puzzle types are new to you, I first spend some time explaining each and suggesting some strategies for working them.

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies My first task in this part is to introduce you to the reasons for spending some quality time with this book. I explore what recent research says about the importance of mental exercise and the impact it can have on your cognitive abilities — including your memory — as you age. I then introduce each type of puzzle that appears in this book and provide tips for solving it. From crosswords and word games to Sudoku and logic puzzles, I help you prepare for the workout that’s coming.

Part II: Getting a Complete Puzzle Workout Here’s what you’ve been waiting for: the puzzles themselves. For each type of puzzle, I offer various levels of difficulty; the easier puzzles come first, followed by fairly tough puzzles, and then by downright treacherous ones — the kind that will keep you awake until the wee hours, cursing my name!

Introduction

Part III: The Payoff: Checking Your Answers Pretty please, no matter how much you’re tempted, don’t look at this part until you’ve spent some quality time with Part II. Think of it as exercising your willpower at the same time you’re pumping those brain cells.

Part IV: The Part of Tens I include two chapters in this part: one that introduces ten types of puzzles not featured in this book that you may want to check out, and one that offers ten strategies for becoming the best puzzler you can be.

Icons Used in This Book In the Part I chapters, you’ll notice two icons in the margins that help you navigate the text: When you see this icon, know that the text next to it contains a helpful hint for solving puzzles.

This icon points out information that you want to tuck into your mental filing cabinet — it’s worth holding on to.

Where to Go from Here That depends entirely on you. If you’re new to the world of puzzling, I recommend that you cozy up with the chapters in Part I before putting pencil to paper. If you’re

Brain Games For Dummies already a puzzling pro and picked up this book knowing exactly how to tackle each type of puzzle included here, feel free to jump directly into the good stuff: the puzzles themselves in Part II. My only rule is that you can’t go directly to Part III! But I assume that because you’ve taken the time to read this Introduction, you’re not going to spoil your fun by looking at the answers before making an earnest effort to solve the puzzles yourself. After all, the effort is the whole point: Your brain will thank you for it.

In this part . . .

n Chapter 1, I introduce you to the myriad reasons for scheduling some quality puzzle time into your day. You can fight mental flab by doing something that you enjoy anyway — what could be better? The remaining two chapters in this part introduce you to each type of puzzle featured in this book. Each chapter contains tips and strategies so you can hit the ground running when you crack open Part II.

e honest: Do you feel as mentally sharp today as you did when you were 20? (If you’re 20 now, or even younger, indulge me for a moment while I address your elders.) Can you retain information as easily as you did at that age? Or do you suspect that you don’t learn as quickly as you once did, and worry about occasional fuzzy moments when you can’t recall things that used to be second nature? If you’re in the “fuzzy” category, even on rare occasions, you may feel a bit anxious about the changes that seem to be taking place in your brain. And you may wonder what, if anything, you can do about them. I suspect that may be why you’re reading this chapter right now, as opposed to jumping straight into Part II of this book and trying your hand at the puzzle of your choice.

10

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies As an isolated activity, working a crossword puzzle or untangling a word scramble may not dramatically change anyone’s cognitive ability. But combined with other lifestyle changes, working puzzles — or doing other types of mentally stimulating activities — may have profound long-term effects on memory and overall cognitive ability. That’s why I devote this first chapter to the big picture of working puzzles: why they’re potentially beneficial, and what else you can do to try to recapture your twenties (if only in your mind!).

Pumping Up Your Synapses You may suspect that I’m the one who needs some mental help, writing about synapses in a puzzle book. But bear with me — I’ll try to demonstrate that I haven’t gone around the bend. On the off chance that you aren’t a neurologist, let me start with a couple definitions. Neurons are cells that control your central nervous system: your brain and spinal column, and the nerves connected to them. Synapses are tiny gaps between the neurons in your brain. When synapses are working correctly, they allow your neurons to communicate with each other, which keeps your nervous system functioning the way it should. Your nervous system must function properly in order for you to learn new things, retain information, and use your powers of logic and reason. You’re feeling some love for your synapses now, aren’t you? You have about 100 billion neurons in your brain. And you have literally trillions of synapses — possibly even a quadrillion (that’s a 1 followed by 15 zeroes). It sure

Chapter 1: Puzzling for Your Health

11

seems like you have plenty to spare, but as you age, your synapses deteriorate. And because your brain activity takes place courtesy of synapses, their deterioration equates to a decrease in your brain function, including memory. The take-home lesson here is that if you want your mind to live to a ripe old age, you need to do more than just take care of your body (although that’s crucial too, as I explain later in this chapter). You need to keep your synapses in top condition. How do you do that? Keep reading!

Building a Cognitive Reserve In the late 1980s, a study published in the Annals of Neurology raised questions about why some people develop symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and some don’t. Autopsies were conducted on 137 former nursinghome patients. As expected, the brains of those who had demonstrated symptoms of Alzheimer’s were filled with plaques (brain deposits made up of dead cells and proteins) and tangles (nerve cells that had become tangled together) — characteristic physical signs associated with the disease. Here’s the unexpected part: The brains of ten patients who didn’t show any symptoms of Alzheimer’s contained the same level of plaques and tangles. If the physical reasons for the disease were present in those people, why didn’t they get the symptoms? There was another twist as well: The ten patients in question had heavier brains and more neurons than they should have given their age.

12

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies What made these ten people different from their peers? As a result of this study, a new theory emerged: the cognitive reserve theory. It essentially says that people who have a larger reserve of neurons and stronger cognitive abilities can tolerate some brain deterioration without showing symptoms. In other words, the more you use your brain, the greater your chances of avoiding symptoms of Alzheimer’s. Strong stuff, huh? Obviously, no one is offering guarantees here. I can’t promise that anything I suggest in this book will add X number of years to your life, and that those years will be free of any symptoms of memory loss or other mental decline. But study after study in the past two decades has shown that mental activity can — and often does — have a positive effect on your quality of life in the long run, and I can’t argue with that. How do you build a cognitive reserve? The same way that you keep your synapses happy and healthy. Keep reading — the following section offers specific suggestions.

Taking a Whole-Body Approach to Brain Health The great news about the steps you can take to improve your chances of long-term cognitive health is that many of them are the same steps you take to keep your body healthy. You need to add just a couple items to a list that’s probably already familiar. And the new items are fun — promise.


13

Here’s the familiar stuff: Reduce stress. If you’ve heard this advice from your doctor in relation to a physical condition, you now have double the reason to heed it. Research shows that stress causes synapses to malfunction. Long-term stress can cause a neurotransmitter (a chemical that carries messages between nerve cells) called glutamate to build up in your synapses. If enough of it accumulates, it can become toxic and interfere with your memory and your ability to learn. Get aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise can help you manage and resist stress, which is enough reason to make it part of your daily routine. But among its many other benefits, studies suggest that it stimulates the creation of new neurons and strengthens the connections between them. Eat a diet rich in antioxidant foods. If your physical health alone hasn’t inspired you to stock up on blueberries and spinach, do so for your mental health. Foods rich in antioxidants may help counteract effects of free radicals in your brain. (Free radicals are molecules that contain oxygen that attack cells throughout your body. They have been linked to cancer and heart disease, as well as brain deterioration.) Control high blood pressure and diabetes. A study published in the journal Neurology in 2001 showed that the mental abilities of participants with high blood pressure or diabetes declined more rapidly than those of other participants. High blood pressure is a risk factor for a condition called vascular dementia, in which a series of tiny strokes can affect memory and other cognitive abilities.

14

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies Early diagnosis and tight control of these conditions may help prevent some of the ill effects on your cognitive health. Ready for the steps that may be new on your to-do list? Get lots of mental stimulation. Ahhh, this is where the puzzles come in — finally! You may be hard-pressed to find a scientist who would claim to know exactly how much mental stimulation the average adult of a certain age needs, or what types of mental activities are best for a certain population. The science is fairly young, and I guarantee you’ll hear a lot more about it in the years to come. But the general consensus is this: Mental stimulation of any kind can have positive effects on warding off memory problems and other declines in cognitive function. And lack of stimulation is a serious factor in mental decline. So, how should you use your brain to get the maximum results? Only you can answer that question. That’s because whatever you do, it has to be enjoyable enough to truly stimulate you and to keep you coming back for more, day after day. We’re talking about running a mental marathon here — not winning a sprint. So you have my permission to read War and Peace or pull out your old calculus textbook, but only if thats what you really want. Otherwise, I suggest you look for other types of activities that will keep you interested in the long term. (Anyone for Sudoku?) The bottom line: If there’s a hobby you love that you haven’t made time for in years, make time for it. If there’s an activity you’ve been meaning to do but have put on the back burner because it seems less important than folding laundry, do it. If there’s a


15

subject you’ve been curious about for ages but haven’t had time to study, study it. And if anyone (including your conscience) pesters you about how you’re spending your time, memorize your new mantra: My brain needs me. Stay curious. This is an extension of the previous point. If you’ve buried your curiosity about the world around you because you haven’t had time to explore it since childhood, now’s the time — no matter how old you are or what your life circumstances are — to rediscover how curiosity feels. Whatever activities you choose to help keep your brain stimulated, you need to enjoy them enough to do them regularly. You can’t get your body fit by working out three hours in a row and then ignoring your health altogether for two weeks (because you’re so sore from the marathon workout that you can’t move for the first five days!). You benefit much more from working out consistently for shorter amounts of time — for example, every day for 30 minutes, or four days a week for 45 minutes each time. The same seems to be true of mental exercise. Your goal should be to make time for mental stimulation at least several days a week, if not every day. If you can’t devote time to working a crossword every day, no problem. But don’t let a month go by between mental workouts. You have to invest the time if you want the results (see the sidebar “A puzzle constructor’s dream”).

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies

A puzzler constructor’s dream An article published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2002 reports on potential connections between leisure activities and the risk of dementia. Here’s a quote:

Participation in leisure activities is associated with a reduced risk of development of dementia, both Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. The reduction in risk is related to the frequency of participation. According to our models, for example, elderly persons who did crossword puzzles four days a week . . . had a risk of dementia that was 47 percent lower than that among subjects who did puzzles once a week . . . Now, I swear I did not author this study! But I will tout it gladly to support the idea that spending quality time with this book, The New York Times, or any other source of quality crosswords may pay valuable dividends.

Employing tips and strategies

S

ome people adore puzzles that allow them to play with words: Crosswords, logic puzzles, riddles, word searches, word scrambles . . . They just seem to have the knack for solving them. Others don’t have the knack and wouldn’t recognize it if it smacked them in the forehead. So, how do you get the knack? If you want to be able to look a puzzle squarely in the face and say, “You’re not keeping me awake tonight!” what can you do (other than keep the answers handy)? Many of us started working puzzles in elementary school, when our teachers had us fill in puzzles that reinforced our spelling, reading, science, or social studies lessons of

18

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies the day. Chances are you’ve been familiar with the structure of most of these puzzles for a long time, and you’ve probably had at least some experience working them. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re comfortable with them. In fact, you may feel downright nervous when you sit down to work a crossword these days. After all, what better way is there to test how much knowledge you’ve accumulated — and retained — over the years? And what better way to feel like a complete moron than to find yourself staring blankly at clue after clue? Maybe you’ve long avoided some of these puzzles precisely because they point out how much you don’t know. And maybe you’re now ready to overcome your fears. As I point out in Chapter 1, the benefits of working puzzles are potentially great. Plus, they’re a lot of fun — after you get past the fear and frustration.

Getting Logical Logic puzzles can take a variety of forms. They may involve words, numbers, or images, and — like all puzzles — they may be fairly easy to solve or extremely difficult. Preparing to solve logic puzzles isn’t like preparing to solve a crossword (see earlier in this chapter) or sudoku puzzle (see Chapter 3). You don’t need to understand how the puzzle is constructed or what the rules are. You don’t have many specific strategies to consider. However, you should keep the following in mind: As with other puzzle types, each logic puzzle has a unique answer. The puzzle constructor doesn’t intend for you to be able to solve one puzzle in multiple ways.

Chapter 2: Playing with Letters and Words

19

In many cases, the person writing the puzzle is intentionally veiling the answer. The way the puzzle is written may be deceptive to some degree — the degree of deception being one determinant of its level of difficulty. Logic puzzles are a varied lot. You’ll likely find that some answers spring to mind as soon as you’ve read the puzzle — your own logic will make them seem obvious to you. But others will be much more diabolical. If you spend a good amount of time studying one puzzle and just can’t seem to figure it out, walk away and come back later. A fresh look may be your best bet, or you may want to enlist help from a friend or family member. Another thing to keep in mind is that the more puzzles you solve that are written by the same puzzle constructor, the better your chances of figuring out whether (and how) that person is trying to deceive you. For that reason, I encourage you to start with the easy logic puzzles in Part II, even if you don’t find them very challenging. They give you a sense of who I am and how I write logic puzzles. That information may help you when you reach the toughest of the tough. By that point, you may have some insights regarding my use of language and my thought processes. I also encourage you to keep the answer pages closed until you’ve given each puzzle a good effort. You want the best workout your mind can get, and sometimes that means allowing for frustration.

20


Fiddling with Riddles If logic puzzles appeal to you, riddles likely will as well. These two types of puzzles are close cousins, but riddles are often shorter than logic puzzles and involve plays on language. For example, What becomes larger the more you take away from it, and smaller the more you add to it? The answer is a hole in the ground. The reason this riddle works is because it forces you to think in a new way — to realize that not everything gets larger when you add to it. As with logic puzzles and other puzzle types, each riddle should have just one unique answer. If you can think of two or more reasonable answers to the same riddle, chances are you’ve outwitted the puzzle constructor! Riddles are a great way to introduce kids to the joy of playing with language. And for adults, they’re a great way to keep the mental gears cranking even when you have only a short time each day to devote to puzzling.

Decoding Cryptograms Cryptograms are more complicated than word searches and word scrambles, and they’ll almost certainly require more of your time. But solving a cryptogram is really satisfying — it makes you feel like a master detective — so the extra time is well worth it. A cryptogram is a sentence or phrase that’s encrypted or enciphered. What does that mean? Each letter has been


21

substituted with a different letter. (In some cases, nonletter characters — such as numbers — are used as substitutions as well, but in this book I use only letters.) So within the sentence or phrase, for example, every A may be replaced with an N, and every S replaced with a P. In order to figure out what the sentence or phrase says, you have to figure out each substitution — not an easy task! I’ll be honest: Even with the following strategies in mind, sometimes solving a cryptogram is tough. Your best bet is often just to make guesses and see what sticks. But the tips I offer here should at least help you refine your guesses! Use a pencil. Because you’re bound to be making guesses at least some of the time, you want the ability to erase and guess again if you discover you’ve made a mistake. And keep scrap paper close by! Know this: No letter substitutes as itself in a cryptogram. The puzzle constructor won’t try to trick you by using an A to represent an A, for example. Know this also: Only one solution is possible for a cryptogram. Part of the puzzle constructor’s job is to make sure the sentence or phrase is long enough that the solution must be unique. In other words, you can’t come up with two or more logical solutions to the same puzzle. If a hint is provided, look at it first. In this book, I offer hints that indicate, for example, how often a certain letter appears or where you may find a certain letter (at the start or end of a word).

22

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies Other puzzle constructors may give you a different type of hint. For example, a hint may be a phrase that’s only partly encrypted, such as MICKEY PRTIN. When you figure out that PRTIN represents MOUSE, you then look for instances within the encrypted sentence or phrase where you can substitute M for P, O for R, and so on. In other cases, the puzzle constructor may show you a few letters in the solution itself. Your next step is to look for one-letter words (if there are any), which have to be either I or A. (You could find an instance of a single-letter word being O, but that’s pretty rare.) Two- and three-letter words should be your next targets. Consider common two-letter words such as an, as, at, by, in, is, it, no, of, on, or, so, and to. Frequently used three-letter words are and, but, for, the, and you. If you see an apostrophe in the encrypted text, you can guess that what follows it is an S or T. (D is also possible, but contractions such as he’d, they’d, and we’d aren’t that common.) If you see more than one instance of an apostrophe, and the letters before and after each apostrophe are the same, you can guess that you’re looking at an N before each apostrophe and a T after it. (Think can’t, don’t, and won’t.) If you don’t see that repetition before and after multiple apostrophes, you’re likely looking at possessives (ending in S). Double letters are also good places to focus. For example, say you see RR in an encrypted word. You may not immediately know whether you’re looking at an ll, an ee, an ss, or some other double-letter combination, but you can guess that R doesn’t substitute for letters that aren’t commonly doubled (such as A, I, H, Q, and U).


23

You can also consider how frequently each letter appears in the cryptogram. You can assume that if you see a letter only once, for example, it’s probably not an E, T, A, O, or N. But going much deeper with frequency analysis (considering how often certain letters typically appear in the English language and comparing that with how often the encrypted letters appear) is pretty complex stuff and may suck the fun out of solving the puzzle. My hope is that the tips in the bulleted list help you solve a handful of letters, which in turn help you make educated guesses about a few of the words, which give you solutions to more encrypted letters, and so on. If you get stuck, make some guesses based on what you’ve figured out so far. And walk away if you need to — it’s better to come back to the puzzle with fresh eyes later than to get frustrated!

Straightening Out Word Scrambles You can play word scramble puzzles in various ways, including the following: You look at a group of letters placed in random order and rearrange them into one word, using every letter. The words to be rearranged may be rather short — between five and eight characters. For example, unscramble the capitalized word in quotations to solve this riddle:

24

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies Where a sauce may “THICKEN”: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Unscrambling words of this length isn’t usually very difficult (although I won’t dare suggest that you’ll never get stuck!). The answer to this riddle, by the way, is kitchen. The difficulty increases along with the number of letters and words involved. For example, try to solve this one: Where’s a good place to see a “SCHOOL MASTER”? ___ _________ The answer is the classroom. You solve several word scrambles similar to those I describe in the previous bullet, and you then take a second step. Certain characters in those words are circled, and by using only the circled letters, you solve one more scramble: You rearrange them to create a word or phrase that answers a clue given by the puzzle constructor. In this step, you’re likely dealing with quite a few characters, and you’re often creating more than one word. As with the examples shown in the previous bullet, the puzzle constructor usually provides blanks that show how many words are in the solution and how many characters are in each. You look at a group of letters and try to create as many words as possible from them. You don’t have to use every letter in every word you create. For example, if you’re given eight letters, you can create words with three letters, four letters, and so on. The goal is to make as many words as possible, and the puzzle constructor may tell you how many words you’re aiming for. The puzzle constructor may also set certain rules, such as “No two-letter words.”


25

The strategies for approaching word scrambles are pretty straightforward: If you’re working on a series of jumbled words, look at each one in turn to see whether any words jump out at you. You’ll be amazed by how quickly you can solve some scrambles; our minds seem built for this type of task. When an answer doesn’t jump out at you, try writing the letters in a different order. Don’t worry about creating a word right away — just putting them in a new order may trigger that “aha!” moment you’re looking for. If the “aha!” remains elusive, try grouping together letters in what seems to be a logical way. Consider how many vowels you have; if you have twice as many consonants as vowels, chances are the word begins with a consonant. Try putting together common groupings such as ing, sh, or th. Keep rearranging letters as long as it takes to find what you’re looking for. Eventually, you’ll stumble onto a combination that makes sense. If you’re playing the last type of scramble that I describe in the previous bulleted list, be sure to look for words that can be pulled directly from within the words you’ve already created. For example, if you’ve written down player, be sure to also write down play, lay, and layer. You can also write down pay, per, year, reap, and so on, but the point is to notice the words that are already spelled out, in order, within the longer words you’ve created — they’re your easiest finds.

Relaxing with Word Searches As with crossword puzzles, you were probably introduced to word searches early in life. Most people work them in elementary school to reinforce their spelling and vocabulary lessons. In case you’ve never seen one before, a word search is simply a grid of letters — in a square or rectangular shape — that contains hidden words. Your goal is to find and circle the words, which may appear horizontally, vertically, or diagonally within the grid. Some words may be written backward. Some word searches are constructed around a central theme, which means all the words you’re finding are related to one topic. How do you know what words to look for? The puzzle constructor usually provides a list — that’s the case in this book. You may encounter word searches that don’t provide a word list, in which case the puzzle constructor tells you how many words you’re looking for (and whether they all relate to a certain theme). Those searches are more challenging, of course. The puzzle constructor may let you know that the word search contains a hidden message (related to the theme, if the puzzle has one), which you discover only after circling all the words. To find the message, you identify, in order, all the letters you haven’t circled. The letters form words that spell out the secret message. The thing I love about word searches is they’re really lowstress. If a word list is provided, I guarantee you can complete the search — no matter how large the grid or how many words you’re looking for. How often in life do you get the satisfaction of knowing you’re going to get the


27

right answers? That fact, in itself, makes working word searches fun. Plus, they’re great for increasing your concentration and blocking out the world for a while.

Tackling the Crossword Grid If you really love crossword puzzles and want to learn more about tips on solving them and even how they’re made, I highly recommend checking out Crossword Puzzle Challenges For Dummies (Wiley). Right now, though, I’m going help you get started on the fun part of a crossword puzzle: Filling in the blanks! Where to begin? Here are my suggestions: Use a pencil rather than a pen. Some people will disagree with me, insisting that working in pen is the only way to go. But until you get truly comfortable at working crosswords, don’t give yourself a reason to stress about mistakes! Read through the clues one by one and answer those that seem obvious. Even in the toughest puzzle, you’re likely to find at least a handful of clues you can answer immediately. After you fill in the easy answers, go back and see whether any of the letters you’ve written down help you solve any of the other, less-obvious clues. Take your time with this step, and don’t get frustrated if answers don’t jump to mind immediately. You’re still getting familiar with the puzzle constructor’s phrasing at this point. It’s almost as if he or she has written clues in a dialect that’s new to you; the more time you spend reading them, the better you’ll be able to interpret what’s being asked.

28

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies If the crossword has a theme, try to determine whether every clue seems related to it. If not, see whether you can identify the clues that relate directly to it, and work on those answers. If you’re willing to use outside resources, identify clues that fall into the “Trivia” category. They’re often the easiest to solve by consulting a Web site or other resource. Look for clues written as plurals, and consider penciling in an S at the end of each grid entry. You may end up erasing some of them (because plurals can be formed in other ways, of course — consider geese), but that’s why you’re using a pencil! If you find yourself feeling stuck, step away from the puzzle and go back to it with fresh eyes later. You may want to work multiple puzzles at the same time for this reason. When you’re stumped on one, start a new one. By doing so, you expose yourself to various styles of clue phrasing, you start to notice that certain words (especially short ones) appear in lots of crossword puzzles (even though the clues differ from puzzle to puzzle), and you build your confidence. And don’t forget: It can be fun to bring your family members or friends into the mix. If you’re truly stumped, give a tough clue to someone else to chew on for a while.

olving a Sudoku puzzle requires a different kind of mental workout than solving a crossword puzzle or a word scramble. The breadth of your vocabulary and depth of your factual knowledge are pretty much irrelevant here — logic and diligence are the keys to success. In this chapter, I introduce basic strategies for working a Sudoku puzzle, before turning you loose in Part II.

Jumping into the Sudoku Craze I assume you haven’t been living in isolation for the past few years, so you’re aware that Sudoku has gained the kind of popularity that Rubik’s Cube had once upon a

30

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies time. In describing it, many people use the word “addictive,” so I suppose I should warn you that after you get started, you may find yourself spending many hours playing these puzzles. What’s the appeal? It may be the deceptive simplicity of the Sudoku grid or the fact that, at its most basic, Sudoku requires only that you know how to count to nine. You don’t need to gather any resources before putting pencil to paper, and you aren’t testing your recall of words and facts you learned many moons ago. But, of course, solving a Sudoku puzzle isn’t actually simple. In fact, it can be downright mystifying when you get into the toughest level of puzzles, which some puzzle constructors label killer, extreme, or treacherous. I include some of these puzzles in Part II to make absolutely certain you won’t accuse me of taking it easy on you! Although this chapter covers the basic strategies you can apply to solving any level of Sudoku puzzle, you may want to use more advanced strategies if you decide to tackle the treacherous breed. In that case, I recommend consulting another resource, such as Extreme Sudoku For Dummies (Wiley). You can also type “killer Sudoku,” “advanced Sudoku,” or some other variation into your favorite search engine and locate playing tips online. By the way, do you know what Sudoku means? Su is the Japanese word for “number,” and doku means something like “single.” So the name roughly translates to single number. If you’ve never worked a Sudoku before, you’ll find out in the next section why the name makes perfect sense.

Chapter 3: Fun with Numbers: Taking on Sudoku

31

Applying Strategies I provide two layers of strategies in this section: very basic ones and slightly more advanced ones. As I mention in the previous section, lots of additional strategies exist, but they’re applicable mostly to the truly diabolical puzzles, and I don’t have enough room to cover them adequately here. If you find yourself outgrowing the approaches I suggest, you can easily locate other resources that can guide you to the next level of Sudoku mastery.

Getting started Here’s the least you need to know to get going with sudoku: The basic Sudoku puzzle is a 9-x-9 grid; it contains nine rows and nine columns, and it’s divided into nine 3-x-3 grids or boxes. (Tougher puzzles may be 12-x-12 or 16-x-16 grids, but I don’t include these sizes in this book. I do include some circular or target Sudokus, which I discuss at the end of the chapter.) Your job is to make sure that each row, column, and 3-x-3 box in the puzzle contains the numbers 1 through 9. If you do your job correctly, each of these numbers can appear only once in each row, column, and 3-x-3 box. Each puzzle has a unique solution; you can’t solve it in more than one way.

32

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies The puzzle constructor’s task is to get you started with just a handful of numbers in the grid — enough so you have adequate information to solve the puzzle. The difficulty of each puzzle depends on how many numbers are provided and where they’re placed. When you start a puzzle, your goal is to locate one or more blank cells for which you can identify only one number that works. In other words, you’re looking for definite answers — spaces where the numbers provided for a certain row, column, and 3-x-3 box offer enough information that you can eliminate every possibility except one. For example, you may find a space in a row that already contains the numbers 2, 5, and 6. The same space may fall in a column that contains 1, 4, and 9. And the 3-x-3 box that houses the space may already have the numbers 3 and 8 in it. When you combine all those clues, you realize that only the number 7 can go in that space. It’s a definite answer — precisely what you’re looking for to get started. After you fill in one or more definite answers, you need to go back and consider how those new pieces of information affect blank spaces you’ve already considered. Solving one number may be just the step needed to solve another in the same row, column, or 3-x-3 box. (“Aha! I knew that space had to be filled with either a 2 or a 7. Now that I’ve written 7 elsewhere in this row, my answer has to be 2.”) At some point — sooner rather than later, if the puzzle is a tough one — you’re going to run out of obvious answers. Your next step is to start filling in possible answers in each empty space — doing so can help you identify definite answers that have been hiding from you.


33

You must use pencil here — you could end up with six or more numbers in a single space! You may even want to make a copy of the puzzle you’re working on so you can scratch all over it and write only the definite answers on the original puzzle. But what do you do after you’ve identified a bunch of possibilities? What do all these tiny numbers mean, and how do they help you figure out which is correct? This is the step of the puzzle where you have a choice to make: Apply strategies such as those I outline in the next section, or start making best guesses and see where each leads you. I’m not here to dictate your approach; the goal is for you to enjoy the solving process, and only you can decide how that’s going to happen. But if guesswork makes you nervous, keep in mind that you can eliminate it altogether if you’re willing to learn and use advanced strategies. For many people, much of the pleasure in solving Sudoku is found in discovering the logic strategies that produce a solution. If you’d prefer to discover those strategies for yourself, feel free to stop reading now and jump right into the puzzles in Part II. As I mention in the previous section, I offer a suggested solving time for each Sudoku puzzle in Part II. These times are completely subjective because actual solving times vary according to your experience, skill, and many other factors, such as your environment or whether you’re having a particularly good solving day. The times I suggest are set at a level that an expert solver would expect to achieve, so please don’t be disheartened if you

34

Part I: Preparing Your Puzzle Strategies don’t finish so quickly. Just let the time estimates add an element of competition to the fun of solving sudoku. And if you aren’t the competitive sort, ignore those estimates altogether!

Advancing past the basics The key to solving almost any Sudoku is discovering every possible number for each square. These options can be found simply by checking each square and asking the question “Will such-and-such a number go here?” while checking whether the number is also in the row, column, or 3x3 box in which the square resides. Using a pencil, you want to write the possible options in each empty square on the grid. After you reach a point where all the obvious numbers have been solved, you have to search for options in a systematic way. When you can’t prove which number should be in a square, you can often more easily prove what can’t be there. By a process of elimination, you can reduce the options for a square until you’re left with only one. A basic discipline of Sudoku solving is recognizing option groupings. Spotting the relationship of a group of options in one square to another group in another square is fundamental to solving difficult Sudoku puzzles. If you want detailed information on putting grouping strategy to use, I highly recommend checking out Extreme Sudoku For Dummies (Wiley). Sudoku is a puzzle that you solve with logic alone, so it follows that the schemes for solving should be examined in a logical way. Learning about pairs and triplets gives you a good grounding in Sudoku logic and enables you to understand the reasoning behind the more advanced strategies.


35

Taking Target Practice If you start getting square eyes from doing regular Sudoku, I can offer some relief in the form of circular Sudoku, sometimes called target Sudoku. Think of the puzzle as a big pie cut into eight slices, each slice with four bites. Your goal is to place a number into each bite of pie so that every two adjacent slices contain all of the numbers from 1 to 8. Every ring also must contain all the numbers from 1 to 8. Here’s an important clue: Every other pie slice will contain the same four numbers. That has to be the case because otherwise, you’d have duplicates in some combination of two adjacent slices. However, the four numbers appear in different orders in the different slices because of the fact that each ring comes into play as well. As with 9-x-9 grid Sudoku puzzles, you start a target Sudoku by trying to identify definite answers: those blank spaces that can have only one answer based on the numbers the puzzle constructor has provided. Target Sudokus are a nice change of pace from grid sudokus and may be a touch easier because you’re dealing with fewer spaces to fill.

In this part . . .

y hope is that the information and puzzles in this book inspire you to make playtime part of your daily (or almost-daily) schedule for the rest of your life. The benefits are great, and the process should be nothing but fun. Here, I offer two short chapters to complete the inspiration: one that lists ten additional types of puzzles and games you may want to discover (or rediscover); and one that suggests ten ways to become a better puzzler.

Chapter 6

Ten Other Types of Puzzles and Games to Keep Your Mind Fit In This Chapter

Going for variety

Having fun with friends

Bringing your body into the mix

T

he hardest part of writing this chapter was deciding what to include and what to leave out. There are so many great puzzles and games to keep your mind pumping that the list is pretty much endless. The most important consideration when deciding how to spend your precious free time is fun: Whatever you do has to be interesting enough to get your mental gears cranking, and enjoyable enough to keep you coming back for more. To make sure you’re really keeping your gray matter on its toes, try something new every chance you get. You may just discover some new favorites!

Part IV: The Part of Tens

Ogling Optical Illusions Optical illusion puzzles are great fun and can be really tricky. They test your powers of perception, as well as your eyesight. If you prefer your puzzles in hard-copy form, you can find books of optical illusions. If you’re willing to do some puzzling online, you can find lots of optical illusion puzzles. I like Web sites such as www.brain bashers.com (click on Illusions), www.optical-illusionist.com, and www.eyetricks.com/illusions.

Tackling Letter Equations Letter equations are well-known phrases or facts in which key words have been replaced with just their first letters. They’re called equations because they often (but not always) contain a number and an equal sign. For example, a fairly easy one to figure out is 7 = D in a W The answer is 7 days in a week. A bit more challenging letter equation is something like 15 M on a D M C The answer is 15 men on a dead man’s chest. An example of a fact-based letter equation is 88 = K on a P The answer is 88 keys on a piano. The phrases are often easier to figure out than the facts, which can be wellknown to some people but seem obscure to others.

Solving Math Puzzles What? Solve math problems for fun? Am I nuts? No, not completely. I happen to know that when grades aren’t involved, and when you’re seeing the math problems in a context other than a textbook, they can be downright enjoyable to solve. Math is a true test of logic, and doing math puzzles on a regular basis builds your memory (so you don’t stumble the next time you need to know what 7 × 6 equals).

Assembling Jigsaw Puzzles Find a good surface so you can spread out the pieces, make sure the lighting is right, and get to work. You can choose an image that appeals to you, the number of pieces you want to work with (300, 500, 1,000, or even more), and even whether you want to work in one dimension or three. Assembling a jigsaw puzzle is a great way to spend a rainy day, but you don’t have to wait for foul weather to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from concentrating on such a compact activity.

Building Models Maybe as a kid you spent hours putting together model cars, ships, and planes. If so, or even if you’ve never touched a model kit in your life, this activity has no age limit. The stuff kids learn from constructing models is great stuff for adults to re-learn: how to focus on one project, follow detailed instructions, and get your fingers to maneuver precisely. A wide variety of model options is available; type “toy models” into your favorite search engine to see what I mean.

416

Part IV: The Part of Tens

Playing Electronic Games If you’re more apt to spend your free time in front of a computer screen than grappling with the pieces of a model airplane, you have lots of computer game options that will challenge your mind — not just your ability to destroy alien warships. If you’re a fan of a particular type of puzzle, including the kinds featured in this book, you’re bound to find lots of online versions by using your favorite search engine. Filling in a crossword or a sudoku grid certainly has a different feel on a computer screen than on paper, but you may find that you actually prefer the electronic versions: no erasers required.

Playing Chess Chess, the granddaddy of strategy games, forces you to think logically; to be successful, you have to consider the outcomes of each possible move. Playing often enough may also boost your memory power because you start to memorize board layouts (so you don’t have to walk through each possible move — you remember the outcomes from having seen a certain board layout before). If you’ve never played chess before, don’t let yourself be intimidated; the rules aren’t complicated, and after a few games you’ll have a good handle on basic strategy. You may want to play with someone whose chess experience is roughly equivalent to yours — you’re both more likely to enjoy the experience and stick with it.

Chapter 6: Ten Puzzles to Keep Your Mind in Top Shape

417

Strategizing with Scrabble This game is sort of like one big word scramble puzzle, but with some competition built in. You don’t have to be a walking dictionary to enjoy Scrabble; you can use some basic strategies (such as placing words where they accrue double or triple points) to make even short words pay off. If you’re a word lover, Scrabble’s a great game to try. And if you play often enough that you start feeling a little bored with it, look up “Scrabble variations” online for suggestions of ways to shake up the rules to make the game even more challenging.

Conquering Card Games These days, thanks to Texas Hold’em and the World Poker Tour, it seems like the only people playing cards have money on their minds. But I’m here to remind you that playing cards can be fun even if no cash is involved. Games such as hearts, pinochle, and bridge involve strategy and can be good mental workouts — as well as great excuses to get together with family and friends.

Working Up a Sweat As I mention in Chapter 1, keeping your brain healthy requires paying attention to your body as well. Exercise — especially of the aerobic kind — seems to be crucial to mental fitness. So don’t assume that sitting on your couch doing crosswords and math puzzles is all you need to keep your synapses in tip-top shape. You need to get up and move as well.

418

Part IV: The Part of Tens I won’t even try to guess what type of exercise is best for you — your current health is a big consideration, and having fun is key if you want to stick with it. But if you’re in good health, keep in mind that exercising doesn’t have to mean being tied to a treadmill. Playing a sport — basketball, volleyball, soccer, even golf — is a great way to challenge your body, improve your coordination, build strategy skills, and socialize.

ou probably don’t plan to go pro with your puzzling (although I won’t discourage you if you decide to try — it’s worked out pretty well for me!). But anything worth your time is worth doing well. In this chapter, I outline some easy ways to step up your game so your brain gets the maximum benefit (and pleasure) from your puzzling pursuits.

Practice, Practice, Practice! Unless the folks at Mensa know you by name, you’re probably not going to pick up a sudoku grid for the first time and solve it in a matter of minutes. Believe me: Some of the puzzles in this book are really hard! They’re sup-

420

Part IV: The Part of Tens posed to be — I want you to be challenged. So don’t get frustrated if the going is tough initially. With practice, I promise you’ll see results.

Figure Out Your Puzzle Editor’s Style The person responsible for the puzzles in a certain newspaper, book, or Web site is called the puzzle editor, and getting familiar with that person’s style can help you solve the puzzles. This is particularly true with crossword puzzles. The difficulty level of a crossword puzzle depends on how the clues are written. For this reason, when you first start working puzzles, focus on puzzles published in the same source. This book is a great example because, as its puzzle editor, my style dominates throughout. After you work a handful of puzzles in this book, you’ll likely start to figure out some of my tricks and quirks. Doing so should make solving each subsequent puzzle slightly easier.

Mix It Up Even if your goal is to master a certain type of puzzle, you’ll reap benefits from working a variety of puzzles along the way. Any challenging puzzle should help get your synapses in gear and improve your strategic thinking. And stepping away from your particular puzzle of choice once in a while may allow you to gain a new perspective and be even more successful when you return to it.

Chapter 7: Ten Ways to Be a Better Puzzler

421

Create the Right Environment The “right environment” depends on your preferences and, perhaps, on the type of puzzle you’re working. For me, these things are essential: A comfortable chair Silence or soft music Good lighting Easy access to resources when necessary (such as when working a crossword) Ample time to complete the puzzle — or at least to make a good effort

Sever Ties with Your TV If you want to spend more time puzzling, but time seems elusive, challenge yourself to shut off your TV completely for one week. Yes, I’m serious! I’m not suggesting that you never watch it again, but eliminating it from your schedule for one week may be eye-opening. Even if you think you don’t spend a lot of time watching it, you may be shocked at how much time you free up by removing it altogether.

Listen to Classical Music Studies suggest that listening to classical music may help to improve brain function. Some people find that classical music is the perfect background while working puzzles. If

422

Part IV: The Part of Tens you’re one of those people, it’s possible you’ll perform better — and increase the health benefits of your puzzling efforts to boot.

Hone Your Concentration The suggestion to hone your concentration is a natural follow-up to creating the right environment for puzzling, turning off your TV, and listening to classical music. If you follow those three suggestions, you’ll give yourself a leg up in the concentration department.

Exercise Your Memory No running shoes required here: I’m talking about doing simple things every day to actively improve your memory. Following are a few suggestions: Write a shopping list, but don’t carry it to the store. Instead, try to memorize the items you’ve written and recall them as you’re shopping. Actively practice remembering names. One way to do so is to notice the names of people who help you at the grocery store, the pharmacy, or a restaurant. Thank each person by name, and then make yourself recall that name several minutes after you leave the establishment. Become a storyteller. Work on recalling details about events in your life and sharing them out loud with family members and friends. Most people can recall events more clearly if they tell someone else about them, so speak up!

Chapter 7: Ten Ways to Be a Better Puzzler

423

Improve Your Physical Health It’s no surprise that mental health and physical health often go hand in hand. As you care for your body, you’re caring for your brain as well, so make sure you pay attention to the basics: Get enough sleep. Eat healthy foods. Exercise.

Shake Up Your Routines I’m not just talking about trying new puzzles here, although that’s important too (see the earlier section “Mix It Up”). I’m talking about breaking out of ruts and taking simple steps to wake up your brain cells. Routines are crucial to accomplishing the things you have to do each day, but they can also drain your energy. So whenever possible, shake them up. Here are a few simple suggestions: Use your nondominant hand to eat, drink, brush your teeth, or do other simple tasks. Take a different route to work. Use part of your lunch break to stretch or go for a walk. If you usually turn the TV on at a certain time each day, keep it off until a program comes on that you really want to see. Do something active in the meantime.

424

Part IV: The Part of Tens Prepare a new food, or order something new at your favorite restaurant. Call or e-mail someone you haven’t spoken to in a long time.
