Notes on this puzzle
This easy kakuro fits 22 cells to fill into a 6×6 frame, tied together by 15 clue squares.
3 of the 18 runs can be filled with only one set of digits:
- 4 in 2 → 1 + 3
- 16 in 2 → 7 + 9
- 17 in 2 → 8 + 9
The longest run is 4 cells long and 12 runs have only two cells, which is where the arithmetic is tightest. Clue totals go from 4 up to 17, with an average of 11.9.
Where to beginA good first target is the cell at row 1, column 6 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.
