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
- 29 in 4 → 5 + 7 + 8 + 9
- 30 in 4 → 6 + 7 + 8 + 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 30, with an average of 14.7.
Where to beginA good first target is the cell at row 1, column 2 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.
