Vocab word 数独?

WaniKani Feedback

@Mods, if it is inconvenient, sorry for wasting your time, but:
Here is a suggestion for a new vocabulary word on level 26.
I even made the mnemonics and examples! :crab::crocodile:

Word: 数独
Meaning: Sudoku
Alternate meaning(s): Suduko (???)
Reading: すうどく
Level: 26

Meaning mnemonic: If you are counting alone, then you must be playing Sudoku!
Meaning hint: What other purpose is counting alone than playing an “alone” game!
Reading mnemonic: This is a jukugo word that uses the on’yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own. Don’t forget the double う!

Sentence 1:
The other day, Koichi became the world champion at Sudoku.
先日、コウイチは数独で世界チャンピオンになりました。
Sentence 2:
My grandmother couldn’t do the Sudoku puzzle.
私の祖母は数独パズルを致すことができませんでした。

Pattern 1: 数独を～
数独を致す
to do Sudoku
数独を考える
to think about Sudoku

Is this a common misspelling or something?

Why’ve we gone all keigo?

I’d say so. Still should be block-listed with extreme prejudice, though.

Is it a joke or something? I can’t find on real WaniKani.

It’s in #wanikani:feedback so it appears to be a suggestion for a new vocabulary item

Not the kind you would expect, but 刑語けいご

@polv, the reason I posted about this is actually what you just said.
When you think of Japanese puzzles, sūdoku comes to mind.
The reason I posted is actually suggesting the word.

That fixes the すう but then you end up with どうく:wink::joy:
