Daily Kakuro Instructions

HOW TO PLAY. Fill in all the squares with numbers from 1 to 9, following these rules:

The numbers in each group of horizontal or vertical connected blocks cannot repeat;

The numbers in each group of horizontal or vertical connected blocks must sum up to the number at the left (for horizontal) or top (for vertical) groups.

To fill in a square, first click the number on the keypad on the left. Then click the square where you want the number to be entered.

If you need to erase a number from a square, click the "X" on the keypad, then click the number to be erased.

I am not very good at this game, but usually the first thing I do is fill in all the single squares. These are the squares that have only one possible entry. Doing so gives you a good head start on the puzzle.

While the name of this game is Daily Kakuro, you can actually generate as many Kakuro puzzles as you want. Just refresh the page (F5 key on most browsers), and a new Kakuro puzzle is generated automatically.

The faster you finish the game, the higher your score. If you get stuck and need help, click the "HINT" button. Note that clicking the HINT button does incur a time penalty.

FOR BEST RESULTS: This daily Kakuro game is fun but limited. To really improve your brain, join the Lumosity brain training service. I use Lumosity every day, and it works.

What it is. Lumosity has scientifically designed games that increase brain power. Each game trains a different skill such as memory, concentration, or mental speed. You play the games online in your browser.

A Lumosity session takes about 15 minutes per day. It is an effective, enjoyable way to keep your brain sharp.

Included free are customized brain training "courses" that boost core brain function (memory, attention, etc.) and peak performance (fluid intelligence, advanced memory). Other free, included courses are designed specifically for students and even medical conditions (ADHD, TBI, cancer recovery).

Try It Free for Two Weeks. Subscriptions to Lumosity cost about $7 per month. The first two weeks of the subscription is free but does require a credit card to limit free trials to one person.
