What is a word search puzzle?

What is a Sudoku puzzle?
Sudoku is an easy to learn logic-based number placement game that started to become popular around 1986. The Sudoku puzzle itself contains 81 cells in an 9 by 9 grid of squares and are subdivided in boxes of 3 by 3. Each grid in a Sudoku contains empty cells that you must fill entirely with numbers. The goal is to place numbers ranging from 1 to 9 into the empty cells. Each row, column and 3 by 3 region must have each number ranging from 1 to 9 appear only once. While the puzzle based on numbers, it is commonly known as a logic based game because of the lack of mathematical computation to play the game itself.
