Kakuro is a puzzle that is wonderfully simple to describe:
Fill the empty squares with digits from 1 to 9 so that the numbers in each run add up to the indicated clues, without repeating a digit within a run.
At Halifax Kakuro, we offer Kakuros that you can print at home or solve online. The puzzles are also available as books that make wonderful gifts. Each of our puzzles has a unique solution and can be completely solved through deduction, without needing to guess.
Pick a puzzle by date, by difficulty, or at random. There are a million puzzles here, so you're not likely to run out. Play on your phone or computer, absolutely free.
