Today’s Challenge
This Kakuro puzzle is ideal for anyone who is new to this fantastic little teaser. I guarantee children’s number skills will improve the more of these puzzles they try. The rules are very simple:
- Just like a crossword, fill in the boxes,
- Each box must contain a number from 1-9 and each run of boxes must add up to the total shown on the left or above,
- You cannot use the same digits in each run, so if a total of 4 is to be completed in 2 boxes, they must be made up of either 3+1 or 1+3, not 2+2.
Here is a Kakuro puzzle to try, which is a little harder than previous ones:
Hint: The secret of completing this is to firstly find the only combinations possible of making both 10 and 11 from four different numbers.
