Kakuro is a crossword puzzle made of numbers: instead of words you enter digits, and instead of clues you get sums. A new puzzle every day — and it works completely offline.
HOW IT WORKS
The grid looks like a crossword. Each row and column is divided into blocks, and every block has a target sum. Your job: fill the empty cells with digits from 1 to 9 so the sum adds up. The catch — within a single block, each digit can only be used once. Simple to learn, surprisingly tricky to master.
PENCIL MODE
For tougher grids, the virtual pencil has your back. Jot down possible candidates directly in a cell without committing to an answer. One tap switches between notes and final entry, so you stay on top of even the largest puzzles.
