Kakuro: from controls to your first round
Kakuro gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
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.

The challenge in front of you
Complete a 4×4 sum grid with digits 1–9, no repeats in any row or column, and the displayed totals. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The steps to play
- Compare a row total with its fixed entries.
- Use the column total for the same blank.
- Enter digits 1–9.
- Check puzzle verifies totals and non-repetition.
Your inputs
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
A row total 18 with fixed values 2, 4 and 7 requires 5 in the remaining cell. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Repeated digits in a run are forbidden even when the sum matches. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
