A Kakuro puzzle is constructed on a crossword grid just like a standard crossword, but the digits 1 to 9 are used instead of the letters of the alpahabet. In a standard Kakuro puzzle, the Across and Down clues are simply the sums of the digits in the across and down words.
A variant of this standard is to use the products of the digits for the clues. Crossword Express will make both of these variants.
Since the clue is a relatively small number, it is normally printed inside the pattern cells of the puzzle.
Most web browsers will allow you to take a printed copy of this puzzle. Point the mouse cursor at any point within the puzzle, and if a set of icons appear in the top left corner, click on the printer icon to send a copy of the puzzle to your printer.
You can practice your skill at solving Kakuro puzzles using the Kakuro applet by clicking the graphic at the left.
Registered owners of the Pro version of Crossword Express can use this applet at no additional cost to publish interactive Kakuro puzzles in their own web site.
You can choose between two puzzles, a relatively small and fairly easy puzzle and a larger and much more difficult one.
