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.
