Hot
on
the
heels
of
Sudoku
comes
Kakuro
(also
called
“Cross-sums”),
the
fiendish
but
highly
addictive
new
puzzle
game
from
Japan.
It’s
like
a
crossword,
but
with
numbers;
solve
the
clues
and
complete
the
puzzle!
Kakuro
puzzles
resemble
crosswords
that
use
numbers
instead
of
words.
The
aim
of
the
game
is
to
fill
all
the
blank
squares
in
the
grid
with
only
the
numbers
1-9
so
that
the
numbers
you
enter
add
up
to
the
corresponding
clues.
When
the
grid
is
filled,
the
puzzle
is
complete.
Kakuro
puzzle
grids
can
be
any
size,
though
usually
the
squares
within
them
have
to
be
arranged
symmetrically.
As
a
rule
of
thumb,
the
more
blank
squares
a
puzzle
contains,
the
harder
it
is,
however
this
isn’t
always
true,
especially
if
it
is
a
good
quality
puzzle.
