Notes on this puzzle
This easy kakuro fits 26 cells to fill into a 6×6 frame, tied together by 13 clue squares.
4 of the 16 runs can be filled with only one set of digits:
- 24 in 3 → 7 + 8 + 9
- 11 in 4 → 1 + 2 + 3 + 5
The longest run is 4 cells long and 4 runs have only two cells, which is where the arithmetic is tightest. Clue totals go from 5 up to 27, with an average of 13.5.
Where to beginA good first target is the cell at row 1, column 3 of the field: the two runs crossing there settle it. Every run here can be settled from its combinations; check the small and large totals first.
