Free printable Kakuro with answers

Kakuro, also called cross-sums, is a crossword-shaped number puzzle. Fill each run of white cells with distinct digits 1 to 9 that add up to the clue in the black cell before it, with no digit repeating in a run. Every puzzle here has exactly one solution.

By size

Size and run length are what make a Kakuro harder: a bigger grid with longer runs has more ways to split each sum. Start on a 5 by 5 and work up to a 7 by 7.

By name and audience

The same puzzle goes by more than one name. Cross-sums, or a gentle grid for a beginner, they all solve the same way.

One answer, proved by a solver

The thing that makes a Kakuro book worth printing is the guarantee most sellers cannot make: that the clues fix exactly one grid of digits. Valid Kakuro generation needs a solver, and every puzzle here is run through one before it prints, with the completed grid as the answer key.
