Large grids with long runs and totals that can be made many ways.
Download Hard 10 × 10 (PDF)How do you solve a kakuro puzzle?
Each grey clue square holds a total: the number above the diagonal is the sum of the white squares to its right, and the number below it is the sum of the squares beneath it. Fill the white squares with the digits 1 to 9, never repeating a digit within a run. Start with totals that can be made only one way — two squares adding to 3 must be 1 and 2.
What is the combination chart for?
It lists the totals that can be made from only one set of digits, such as 3 in two squares (1 + 2) or 24 in three (7 + 8 + 9), and the digit sets for every total in runs of two and three. Solvers use it to find their first sure squares.
Which size should I print?
Beginner 6 × 6 suits a first kakuro and can be solved almost entirely from the chart. 8 × 8 is the standard size. 10 × 10 has long runs and totals that can be made many ways, for experienced solvers.
Can I make my own?
Yes. These puzzles were made with the DT Labs kakuro generator. Choose a grid from 6 × 6 to 12 × 12, set the difficulty or let it rise through the book, and export a whole book with the combination chart and solutions. Exports come with a commercial licence for KDP and Etsy.
