Sudoku with a friend

August 14, 2007 on 11:42 am | In Features | 19 Comments

If you’ve traveled on a plane in the last year, you know that Sudoku is the latest game that is puzzling people of all ages. If you’re among them, check out the Pandaf Sudoku plug-in for Yahoo! Messenger (8.1).

It’s a conversation plug-in which means it runs during an IM conversation, allowing both you and your friend to work on a Sudoku puzzle together. That’s great for me because I don’t usually get very far in a Sudoku puzzle on my own. Maybe I need to brush up on my Sudoku strategy

To add this plug-in to Yahoo! Messenger, visit the Pandaf Sudoku plug-in page in the gallery and click the “Install Now” button. To use it, you need to be running the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger for Windows (8.1). If you’re running 8.1 right now, click here to install the plug-in.

To find more plug-in games to play on your own or with a friend, check out the Fun & Games category in the gallery.
