Description

Kakuro is one of the oldest logic grid puzzles. Kakuro is like a crossword puzzle with numbers. Each word must add up to the number provided in the clue above it or to the left. A given number can only be used once in a word. Every kakuro puzzle has one and only solution, and can be solved through logic alone.

Dot Kakuro is a new variant of Kakuro puzzle. No digit can be duplicated in a row or column. If difference between two numbers in neighboring cells equals 1, then they are separated by a dot. If a dot is absent between two white cells, the difference between the numbers in these cells is more than 1.

Great game poor layout

I love this game. Used to play it years ago on paper and delighted to have found it again as an app. I tried several Kakuro apps and this is by far the best for playing, and ads are not too intrusive.
The only thing that lets it down is the layout. I’m playing on a phone so making best use of screen space is important. The puzzle is at the top, plenty of space. Then there is a lot of blue background space, with the number pad plus other controls squeezed into the bottom fifth along with a fairly large Menu key. So the numbers are quite small and fat fingers have difficulty. It would be very much better if the number pad took the full width further up the screen, giving the other controls more space too.
I’m keeping going because otherwise it’s great, but I hope you can do something about this. Thanks.

Mixed

Needs more free content, particularly the dot Kakuro as it seems very hard. Need more time to get to be able to solve them readily. Ordinary Kakuro is too easy on this.
