Description
Just like Kakuro only more difficult levels.
Play orginal (easier) Kakuro here:

How to Play
Each kakuro puzzle is composed of a number of rows and columns, some cells are empty and light coloured, others some have numbers in them. At first look therefore it looks like a crossword.
Every sequence of cells in either a row or a column is called a 'run'. At the left of each horizontal run, and at the top of each vertical run, you will see a number.
In the image above, you can see, for instance, a '5' in the second cell on the top row. This means simply that the sum of the two cells underneath it is 5. Next to the '5' is '21' - this means, therefore, that the three cells underneath it sum to 21. And so on, throughout the puzzle.
Using this information alone, you can solve a kakuro puzzle. The key constraint is that you can only use a number once in each run. Therefore if you need to make '6' from two numbers, you cannot use '3' twice, but must rather use 1 and 5 or 4 and 2. You may only use the numbers 1 to 9.

Finally finished. It took a long time, but I enjoyed doing the puzzles because they were challenging and I could save my progress, so I could do five minutes here and there.

Do you create your levels yourself, nlween? They are really hard... worthy of a world championship. I like them. Thank you for offering us such challenges.

click the "check" button. if your math is good, you will get a green checkmark next to it on the "puzzles" screen. as far as i know there is only one solution per puzzle, but as long as everything adds up ok, it will give you the green checkmark.

hey BarbeBleue, in kakuro 3 i will implement your suggestion. i use an algorithm that generates the puzzles, then i look through them for the best and hardest ones. glad you like the game, so do i :)
