# 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.
