Your guide to Kakuro
Open Kakuro, check the instructions and begin a round. Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Practise sums on twelve small, unblocked 4×4 grids. These teaching boards use whole-row and whole-column totals rather than the blocked runs of classic Kakuro.
An idea for your next attempt
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
From the start of a round
- Compare a row total with its fixed entries.
- Use the column total for the same blank.
- Enter digits 1–9.
- Check puzzle verifies totals and non-repetition.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
A row total 18 with fixed values 2, 4 and 7 requires 5 in the remaining cell. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Repeated digits in a run are forbidden even when the sum matches. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
