Kakuro Puzzles by KrazyDad - Free Printable

- The image displays two types of Kakuro puzzles: “Krazydad Kakuro Format” and “Common Kakuro Format.”
- In both formats, the goal is to fill the white cells with digits 1–9 so that each horizontal or vertical run of consecutive white cells adds up to the clue number shown in the gray cell at the start of that run.
- No digit may be repeated within a single run (horizontal or vertical).
- The “Krazydad Kakuro Format” uses diagonal gray cells to separate runs and places clues in the top-left corner of the gray cell for horizontal runs and bottom-right for vertical runs.
- The “Common Kakuro Format” uses solid gray cells as separators and places clues in the top half of the gray cell for horizontal runs and bottom half for vertical runs.
- To solve either puzzle, begin with runs that have only one possible combination of digits (e.g., a sum of 3 in 2 cells must be 1+2; a sum of 17 in 2 cells must be 8+9).
- Use logic and process of elimination to fill in intersecting cells, ensuring no digit repeats within any run.
- Continue applying constraints until all white cells are filled correctly.
