Sudoku During Your Commute: Making the Most of Transit Time
Your daily commute is dead time, or it can be brain training time. Here is how to make Sudoku work during transit.
Why Commutes Are Perfect for Sudoku
Short Sessions
A 10-15 minute commute fits perfectly with an Easy or Medium puzzle. You can complete one or make significant progress.
No Internet Needed
Once the app is loaded, Sudoku works offline. No connection required on trains, buses, or planes.
Controlled Environment
You are sitting still. Your hands are available. The environment is usually quiet enough for focus.
Transition Time
Solving a puzzle during your commute creates a mental buffer between home and work. It helps you arrive more focused.
Best Practices
Choose the Right Difficulty
- Short commutes (under 20 min): Easy or Medium
- Longer commutes: Medium or Hard
Use Mobile Apps
The iPhone app is designed for on-the-go solving. One-handed operation works well for standing on trains or buses.
Save Progress
If your commute is interrupted, pause and return later. The app saves your progress automatically.
Consider Offline Downloads
Download puzzles before leaving home. This ensures you always have something to solve.
Take your daily puzzle on the go with the iPhone app.
