Puzzle & Thinking Games · 118

Lemmings made crowd behavior the puzzle in 1991, asking players to assign limited skills to small creatures that otherwise kept walking toward trouble. The player-facing version of the idea is simple. Daily puzzles create social comparison without direct competition: everyone receives the same problem, then discovers that apparently everyone solved it differently. Nothing becomes more suspicious than a perfectly empty corner of a puzzle board.

Kakuro was long known in English-language puzzle magazines as Cross Sums before its Japanese name became internationally popular. It looks like a crossword, but every clue is really a small arithmetic constraint. A second detour: Sudoku became a global craze under a Japanese name, but number-placement puzzles with similar rules appeared earlier in American puzzle magazines. The name roughly means 'single numbers'.
