The KDP Kakuro maker
Generate a whole graded Kakuro book, then export it at every KDP trim, print-ready at 300 DPI. Make one puzzle free in your browser, unlock a full project for a one-time fee, and export unlimited formats forever.
$4.99 once per project. Unlimited exports, every trim. No subscription.
Every puzzle has one solution
Valid Kakuro needs a solver, and the studio runs one on every puzzle: it builds a layout, fills it, and proves the clues fix exactly one grid. The completed grid prints as the answer key, so nothing in the book is ambiguous or unsolvable.
Every KDP trim, 300 DPI
Pick any of KDP's 17 trim sizes, from 5.06 by 7.81 up to 8.27 by 11.69, with correct margins and gutter. The single interior file you upload passes KDP review.
Generate once, export forever
One project unlocks for $4.99. After that, re-export any trim, any time. No monthly subscription and nothing to cancel.
How it works
- 1Try a free puzzle. Use the free generator in your browser to make one Kakuro and its answer, so you can see the output before you commit.
- 2Pick a difficulty curve. In Publisher Studio, choose how many puzzles you want at each grade, from a gentle 5 by 5 to a 7 by 7, and the studio generates the whole graded book.
- 3Choose your KDP trim. Pick a trim size. The interior is sized with the right margins and gutter for the page count so it passes KDP review.
- 4Unlock once, export any size. Unlock the project for $4.99, then export the print-ready interior and solutions PDFs at any trim, as often as you like.

Questions
- How much does it cost?
- A project unlocks for $4.99, paid once. After that you can export the interior and solutions PDFs at any KDP trim, as many formats as you like, forever. There is no subscription.
- What do I get when I export?
- One print-ready 300 DPI interior PDF, with the completed grids at the back, sized for the KDP trim you choose. That interior is the single file you upload to KDP. You also get a separate solutions PDF.
- Are the puzzles guaranteed to have one solution?
- Yes. Valid Kakuro needs a solver, and every puzzle is run through one before it enters the book, so the clues fix exactly one grid. The printed answer matches every puzzle.
- Can I try it before I pay?
- Yes. The free Kakuro generator makes a real 2-page puzzle in your browser with no sign-up. The unlock is only for a full multi-puzzle project you plan to publish.
- Can I sell the books I make?
- Yes. The exported interiors are yours to publish and sell on Amazon KDP or print yourself. The per-project unlock covers unlimited exports of that project.
