Thousands of readers took advantage of GuessWord this weekend – the Chron’s version of the popular five-letter guessing game
GuessWord gives players six ways to find a five-letter word, figuring out which letters and where they appear along the way.
But players must act strategically to avoid running out of puzzles, and the longer they take to find the puzzle word, the further down the leaderboards they slip, which can be viewed after each game.
The dozens of quizzes and word puzzles in ‘s FREE new puzzles section also include a variety of addictive number games to test your logic.
In addition to the flagship Japanese Sudoku puzzles, there are a number of others such as Futoshiki, Hidato, KenKen, Suguru and Suko.
Unlike crossword puzzles and word-based games, number puzzles are popular among people who want to test their logical thinking rather than their knowledge or vocabulary.
There are also different interpretations of Sudoku in the number puzzle area – including Killer Sudoku, Mini Sudoku, Sudoku X and Ultra Sudoku, each of which is offered with a different level of difficulty.
The most user-friendly variant of the classic numbers game, Sudoku Ultra allows players to enter possible values into any empty field and conveniently delete them once a clear selection has been made.

MasterQuiz, Mindbender and Quick Quiz are multiple-choice quizzes available for free in ‘s new puzzles section – and updated daily
KenKen takes Sudoku to the next level. Unlike Sudoku, where each number takes on the role of a symbol, players must consider the numerical value of the number and calculate.
Similarly, Suko requires players to enter all the numbers into a grid and ensure that each total is reached.
It doesn’t get any harder than Killer Sudoku – none of the initial squares are filled in and in addition to the rows, columns and 3×3 areas, each square is part of a larger cell and also has a sum.
Multiple choice quizzes such as MasterQuiz, Mindbender and Quick Quiz are also offered. MasterQuiz is a six-round quiz that tests readers on their current affairs and general knowledge.
Mindbender measures your mental performance with a handful of arithmetic and verbal reasoning questions. The fastest is Quick Quiz – a quick game that consists of five short questions.
And every Saturday, a ten-round quiz – Pub Quiz – is updated with ten general quiz questions.
