They have originated from drawings composed of lighted windows of a Tokyo skyscraper to become the recent and growing world hype. The rules are simple, yet there exist virtually infinitely many play styles and strategies to reveal the ciphered picture. Whatever the apparent difficulty, the puzzles can always be solved by pure logic. To become a Master, one must obviously immerse into the atmosphere of the East."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20050926-JC.jpg" /><br /><br />If you're over the Sudoku craze (or you dare not go near it), then Japanese Crossword should offer something different.
