How to Play Kakuro
  • Fill in each white cell with a number from 1 to 9.
  • The numbers in each run (horizontally or vertically) must add up to the clue number shown.
  • No number can be repeated within a single run.
  • Some cells contain clues for both horizontal and vertical runs.
  • The game is completed when all white cells are filled correctly.

Reading the Clues

  • Clue cells are divided by a diagonal line.
  • The number in the top half is the clue for the horizontal run to the right.
  • The number in the bottom half is the clue for the vertical run below.

Tips and Strategies

  • Look for small clues with few cells first - they have limited combinations.
  • For example, a 3-cell run with a sum of 6 can only be 1+2+3.
  • Work with intersections where horizontal and vertical runs meet.
  • If you know the sum and all but one number in a run, you can determine the missing number.
