How to play Kakuro

For Kakuro, YINGONG123 keeps the rules close to the game. Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. For this round, focus on read the feedback.

Practise sums on twelve small, unblocked 4×4 grids. These teaching boards use whole-row and whole-column totals rather than the blocked runs of classic Kakuro.

Read the feedback

Status messages explain the current state and rejected actions. Check them when an action does not behave as you expected.

Your goal

Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals.

Step by step

  1. Compare a row total with its fixed entries.
  2. Use the column total for the same blank.
  3. Enter digits 1–9.
  4. Check puzzle verifies totals and non-repetition.

Controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution.

A useful example

A row total 18 with fixed values 2, 4 and 7 requires 5 in the remaining cell.

Watch out for this

Repeated digits in a run are forbidden even when the sum matches.
