Featured Puzzle: Kakuro #1

ByJacob Valdez

Kakuro is another popular Japanese puzzle. Another popular name is “Cross Sums,” because it functions similarly to a crossword puzzle. Fill in the grid with the digits 1-9.

  • Numbers at the top of a vertical stripe of cells represent the sum of digits in that group.
  • Similarly, numbers on the left indicate the sum of digits for that horizontal stripe.
  • You may not repeat a digit within the same sum. (A sum of 8 can’t be two 4s, for example.)

Be on the lookout for a future Kakuro Solving Guide.
