Search

Search allows you to seek specific info in the Sudoku Village site. You can type a single word/ multiple words in the search box. You can also use wildcards.

So, 'walk*' will match 'walk', 'walking', 'walker', 'walkable' and so on. Furthermore, our search engine is not case sensitive. So, searching for 'walk', 'Walk' or 'WALK' will yield exactly the same results.

Words that frequently occur, typically called 'noise words', are ignored. For instance, 'a', 'at', 'and', 'are', 'as', 'how', 'where', etc. and other single/ 2-letter words are also ignored.

Content Search allows you to seek specific info from Clubs, Blogs, and Forums in the Sudoku Village site.

Create Clubs

Here's your chance to create and run your own club! Sudoku Village gives You a platform to create your own clubs. What's more, you can create as many clubs as you wish! These clubs can be run under the supervision of our administrator.

A few words before you Create a Club in an area of your interest/ expertise.

You could name your Club appropriately. The name of your Club need not include any of the above topic names or phrases. The name of your Club can be anything. Just make it appropriate, catchy, pithy, interesting and enticing. Avoid any name that may trigger a controversy.

Starting a Club is easy, but running it is more difficult. You need to be committed to it, and be willing to spend time. Daily!

You need to get involved. And yet permit others to have their say, rather than dominate.

You need to keep making postings regularly, raising questions, seeking the views of the Members of the Club. The questions you raise may give it just the direction it needs.

Include Members of your Club as part of your own Network, You will emerge a true leader, championing a Sudoku cause. Other Sudoku buffs/ experts look up to you now as you lead the Community to greater heights.

Your Club could be the beacon that solves the problems of Sudoku enthusiasts. Or one that entertains them. Or one for a tête-à-tête. What your Club achieves depends on you.
