PUZZLE ANSWERS ON PAGE 32
Concepts Kakuro
Best described as a number
crossword, the task in
Kakuro is to fill all of the
empty square, using numbers
1 to 9, so the sum of
each horizontal lock equals
the number to its left, and
the sum of each vertical
block equals the number
on its top. No number may
be used in the same block
more than once.
