Notes on this puzzle
This easy kakuro fits 24 cells to fill into a 6×6 frame, tied together by 16 clue squares.
4 of the 18 runs can be filled with only one set of digits:
- 3 in 2 → 1 + 2
- 4 in 2 → 1 + 3
- 16 in 2 → 7 + 9
The longest run is 4 cells long and 10 runs have only two cells, which is where the arithmetic is tightest. Clue totals go from 3 up to 28, with an average of 13.4.
Where to beginA good first target is the cell at row 2, column 5 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.
