Sudokupedia – A Sudoku Inspired Language

Posted on 25. Oct, 2009 by bob in Just Fun

At our weekend morning ritual gathering at Peets coffee in Manhattan Beach CA (shoot the bull and remedy the world issues) our friend DaveR fights off all others, at all costs, to get possession of the LA Times Sudoku. This morning the concept of a Sudoku Language was born with Klep-doku – the act of stealing someones Sudoku.

With a Facebook posting and Tweet on this subject others began to add to the Sudoku dictionary (Howie seems to be the early leader).
