(originally called Number Place), is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle.

The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", "regions", or "subsquares") contains all of the digits from 1 to 9.

The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a unique solution.

Mahjong, also spelled majiang and numerous other variants, is a tile-based game that originated in China during the Qing dynasty.

It is commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in South Korea and Japan).

The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout Eastern and South Eastern Asia and have a small following in Western countries.

Similar to the Western card game rummy, Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and calculation and involves a degree of chance.

A word search, word find, word seek, word sleuth or mystery word puzzle is a word game that consists of the letters of words placed in a grid, which usually has a rectangular or square shape.

The objective of this puzzle is to find and mark all the words hidden inside the box.

The words may be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Often a list of the hidden words is provided, but more challenging puzzles may let the player figure them out.

Many word search puzzles have a theme to which all the hidden words are related.

The puzzles have, like crosswords and arrowords, been very popular in the United Kingdom, and - also in common with these latter puzzles - have had complete magazines devoted to them.

A crossword is a word puzzle that normally takes the form of a square or a rectangular grid of white and black shaded squares.

The goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases, by solving clues which lead to the answers.

In languages that are written left-to-right, the answer words and phrases are placed in the grid from left to right and from top to bottom.

The shaded squares are used to separate the words or phrases.

An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current).

An amplifier functions by taking power from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude.

In this sense, an amplifier modulates the output of the power supply based upon the properties of the input signal.

An amplifier is effectively the opposite of an attenuator: while an amplifier provides gain, an attenuator provides loss.
