Halifax Kakuro

Start puzzling →

Welcome!

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.

Puzzle books

I loved making these books so much that I couldn't stop, and went all the way to 2032. Order one book or the whole collection. The standard edition has two puzzles per page; there's also a large print edition with one puzzle per page.
