What are the World Sudoku and Puzzle Championships?
The World Puzzle Championship (WPC), first organized in 1992 in New York City by Will Shortz, is an annual competition featuring language- and culture-neutral puzzles, primarily puzzles involving logic and reasoning, to allow puzzlers from around the globe to compete on equal footing. The three day event features hundreds of puzzles, organized into both individual and team rounds, to challenge the world’s best puzzle solvers. Hosts come from the different member nations of the World Puzzle Federation.
In 2006, the World Sudoku Championship (WSC) became a second annual competition organized with the World Puzzle Federation, focused on Sudoku puzzles and their common variations with a similar competition structure to the WPC. Currently, the two events are held together in a puzzle-packed week with two days for the WSC, a break/excursion day, and then three days for the WPC.
