Sudoku Wasn't Invented in Japan!
Although Sudoku is often associated with Japan, the modern puzzle actually originated in the United States. In 1979, American architect Howard Garns created a puzzle called "Number Place," which appeared in a Dell puzzle magazine. Japan later popularized it, gave it the name Sudoku, and helped turn it into an international sensation.
