What is KAKURO?
KAKURO is a fun new puzzle combining logic and simple addition. Although
its rules are simple, completing a KAKURO puzzle can be quite a challenge.
The object of KAKURO is to place a number from 1 to 9 in every available
square of the game board, where the numbers in each horizontal or vertical
row when added together must equal the sum provided in the hint squares.
A number displayed in the top half of a hint square is the sum of the squares
to the right. A number displayed in the bottom half of a hint square is the sum
of the squares below it. Hint squares may appear anywhere within a puzzle
and may contain two sums. Note: No sum can contain a duplicate number.
For example, to total 8 you can enter 7 and 1, 6 and 2, or 5 and 3, but you
cannot enter 4 and 4.
