KazuNametype
WHAT EACH PUZZLE IS CALLED, and what it is, in English and Japanese: the name a player searches for,
its Japanese name, a line saying how it is played, and a few lines of rules. Plain data, for a page
that lists the puzzles (a chooser, a rules page); strings.ts has the words a playable board says.
The English names are the ones players search for: Sudoku, Killer Sudoku, Futoshiki, Skyscrapers.
数独 is Nikoli's mark in Japan, so Sudoku's Japanese name here is ナンプレ (Number Place, the puzzle's
own original name, and the word Japanese publishers use); the others keep names of their own. The
keys the package uses are number-place, sum-cages, more-or-less, towers: what each one is, not
somebody's trademark.
