How to play Kakuro
It’s a crossword with numbers. Each clue gives the total for the run of white cells to its right or below. Fill those cells with digits 1–9 so the run adds up to the clue, and never repeat a digit within the same run. Use the overlaps between across and down runs to deduce the only solution — fastest time wins.

Kakuro — frequently asked questions
Can a digit repeat?
Not within a single run — but the same digit can appear in different runs.
Where do I start?
Short runs with extreme totals (like 3 or 17 in two cells) have very few combinations — crack those first.
