About Us

Count to Nine was created by Wayne & Christi Crosby who reside in Scottsdale, AZ. Wayne is a software engineer for www.amazon.com and Christi works with local transplant teams as an organ preservation coordinator, in addition to riding hunter/jumpers with www.goodcharacterfarm.com.

The Story of Count to Nine... Last year Christi received a Will Shortz Sudoku book as a Christmas gift. She instantly fell in love with the game and played it non stop for several days. One afternoon Christi was stumped by a particularly challenging puzzle. After witnessing this new obsession and thinking as any software guru would, Wayne decided it would take less time to write a computer program to solve the puzzle than to figure it out by hand.

Without telling Christi, he began writing a program to solve the evil sudoku puzzle. Several hours later the program was finished and the computer had found the solution. Wayne declared his sudoku victory and expected Christi to be thrilled. Much to his surprise, she was irritated and a little sad. He had taken all of the fun out of this new game.

After the initial disappointment of knowing every puzzle could be solved by the click of a button, Christi asked "If you can solve the puzzles, can you create them? Because if you can, I never need to buy another sudoku book!” After this epiphany, Wayne spent tens of hours building a website to avoid purchasing a $5 book. Within a month www.counttonine.com was born. Amazingly, we found that playing sudoku online was even more fun than on paper. We soon realized that many others agreed…

Our popularity has grown steadily ever since and we enjoy watching people all over the globe play our puzzles. Within a few short months, www.counttonine.com has established itself as one of the top sudoku sites on the web, serving up more than 100,000 games a day.

Thank you for visiting www.counttonine.com and reading our story. We strive to be the best sudoku site on the web. If we can improve the site in any way please drop us an email at counttonine@gmail.com. We love new ideas and fan mail!

May you never find two of the same number in a row,
Wayne & Christi
