Play Kakuro with the rules at hand
Take a moment with Kakuro before moving to another game. Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Look at what changes after your first action.
Practise sums on twelve small, unblocked 4×4 grids. These teaching boards use whole-row and whole-column totals rather than the blocked runs of classic Kakuro.
