Kakuro Puzzles

We can provide puzzles in your choice of format, whether that be as Acrobat PDF format, EPS, or other chosen format. Kakuro puzzles are also known as cross sum, as opposed to a cross word. This is because the grid is a little like that of a crossword, but with number clues instead of word clues. The total at the start of each run of cells in a row or column is the sum total of those cells. You may not repeat a number within a run. Therefore if you need to make '6' off three cells then it cannot be 2,2,2 as that has repetition, leaving a combination of 1,2,3 as the only possible solution.
The key to solving kakuro successfully is to look for combinations that have the least possible options, and then use this to narrow down the options for a cell, then cross reference between the various clues in order to reduce the options further until you know exactly what must be placed in a cell. Kakuro puzzles have just one solution and you can reach it without guesswork: just simple logical rules are required to solve kakuro puzzles.
