Why this is rated Easy
Easy Kakuro puzzles use shorter runs and more straightforward sums. Focus on 2–3 cell runs first because they have limited valid combinations.
Today’s solving tactics
- Start with 2-cell runs. For each sum, list the only possible digit pairs (no repeats).
- Fill forced digits first: some sums only allow one combination.
- After each placement, update the crossing run immediately.

Kakuro FAQ
Can numbers repeat inside a run?
No. Digits 1–9 cannot repeat within the same across or down run.
Do I ever need to guess?
No. Kakuro is meant to be solved logically using valid sum combinations and elimination.
What’s the fastest way to improve?
Memorize common sums for 2–3 cell runs and practice eliminating candidates at intersections.
