Kakuro - Play Online

Number puzzle meets crossword meets sudoku. Kakuro is pure logic. Fill grids with digits 1–9. Match the clues. No repeats allowed. 100 levels. Daily challenges. Your brain will thank you.

How to Play Kakuro

The mission? Simple. Fill every white cell with digits 1 to 9. Each block—horizontal or vertical—has a clue number. Your sum must match it. The catch? No digit repeats in the same block. Solve the grid. Unlock the next one.

The Core Mechanic

Tap a white cell. Pick a number from the pad below. Check the gray clue cell. Does your sum match? Good. Move to the next block. Use pencil marks to jot down possibilities. Testing combos? Mark them. Clear answers? Lock them in. Each grid is a mini math puzzle wrapped in crossword logic.

Progression System

Start at 4×4 grids. Easy mode. Get the rhythm. Then unlock 6×6, 8×8, 10×10, and finally 12×12. Five grid sizes total. 100 levels spread across all difficulties. Clear a level? Earn stars. Stack stars. Unlock color themes and achievements. Daily Kakuro drops every 24 hours. Solve it. Build your streak. Miss a day? Streak resets.

Pro Strategy

Always start with the smallest blocks. Two-cell combos are freebies. A clue of 3? Must be 1+2. A clue of 17 in two cells? 8+9 only. Scan for these first. Use hints when stuck—but sparingly. Check your pencil marks. Cross out impossible digits. The undo button is your friend. Made a mistake? Rewind. No penalties.
