Notes on this puzzle
This easy kakuro fits 22 cells to fill into a 6×6 frame, tied together by 13 clue squares.
5 of the 16 runs can be filled with only one set of digits:
- 17 in 2 → 8 + 9
- 7 in 3 → 1 + 2 + 4
- 24 in 3 → 7 + 8 + 9
- 30 in 4 → 6 + 7 + 8 + 9
The longest run is 4 cells long and 6 runs have only two cells, which is where the arithmetic is tightest. Clue totals go from 6 up to 30, with an average of 16.1.
Where to beginA good first target is the cell at row 5, 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.
