Welcome to our newest site: Kakuro Puzzles!

As we are launching it near the end of the month there will be no monthly competition for April, but feel free to give our latest puzzle site a try and let us know here or by email at puzzlebaron@gmail.com if you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvement.

Happy solving!

Really fun and challenging! A few notes: Maybe mention that you can click the sum to see what digits add up to it, since that really helped with solving. Maybe also make that popup box not cover the row/column so it's easier to compare what has been written down to the possibilities. Also, I think there was a typo in the instructions (the two must have gotten switched around) here:

Great suggestions, thanks! The layout for the pop-up combinations should now never obscure the associated across/down run, and the typo was fixed.

I've done Kakuro before, and even the easy are really difficult for me. Would you be able to add a "check for errors" button as an alternative to the "hint" button?

In addition, I think it would be nice to have a "directory" of combos you could click through. Sometimes, the logic requires you to consider possibilities based around limited number—e.g., I might have 24-in-5, with one square limited to either 1 or 3. To eliminate possibilities, I actually need to cross reference with 24-3 [i.e., 21]-in-5. The "hint" function does a good job explaining how the logic works, but if there isn't already an option on the board showing possible combinations (in this example, a 21-in-5), it's a lot harder to puzzle out. Sure, we can manually write it out by hand, but I'm more interested in the logic solving aspect vs. memorizing number combos.
