Kakuro Magazine

Kakuro is an enjoyable puzzle that originates from Japan, and is sometimes called cross sum and can be thought of almost like a number crossword.

However, instead of clues there are numbers at the start of each set of cells, called runs. These numbers indicate the sum total of that run. For instance, a '3' at the start of a run of two cells means that the numbers in those cells sum to 3. Allowed numbers are 1 - 9 but no number can repeat within a run. So, if there is a total of '4' off 2 cells then it can only be either 3 followed by 1 or 1 followed by a 3, and '2,2' involves repetition and therefore is not allowed.

You can solve kakuro using logic and addition skills alone, guessing is never required. If you've not doing kakuro before, then this collection contains a range of difficulty puzzles and also grid sizes, from small to large, so there is something for everyone in the kakuro puzzle magazine.

The magazine contains 100 pages in total, and there are 2 puzzles per page. Because there is a range of grid sizes then some pages are emptier than others, depending on the size of the puzzles on that page. After the 50 puzzle pages are the 50 solution pages. We recommend printing off the puzzle page(s) at your leisure then checking against the solutions on the electronic version. You can view a sample page from the Kakuro Magazine.
