Hi, Everyone,
Once again I apologize for using this list to reach its many braille 
readers.

Based on some research that I did last year with braille readers and what 
they would like to read, I discovered a serious lack of braille puzzles 
and word-games including Sudoku (sometimes spelled su doku). For those who 
don't know, this is the latest craze among sighted puzzle fanciers. It's a 
grid which contains numbers and blank spaces where numbers need to be 
filled in to complete the puzzle.

        If you are interested in braille puzzles and games, I am forming a 
focus group to explore the various possible formats for things like 
Sudoku, cross-word puzzles, word-search puzzles, scrambled-word 
puzzles, etc. Most of these 
require a grid to play from (which contains the puzzle clues) and a grid 
to play on (which may be a blank sheet of paper, a cubarythm slate--may 
not have spelled that correctly), or an electronic version of the original 
puzzle grid which you could place in a word processor and fill in answers.

        If you always wanted to do puzzles and would like to receive some 
sample formats to explore, please contact me OFF-LIST. If possible, please 
exclude the original message from your response. This will make it easier 
to form a distribution list for the group. Thank you so much in advance 
for your interest.
Catherine
