100 Puzzles With Answers. Large 8.5 x 11 Puzzle Book Math Puzzles For Kids Ages 12-14 Are you looking for super fun and engaging Math Puzzles, Math Riddles, and Math Brain Teasers for Kids? Kakuro or Kakkuro or Kakoro is a logic puzzle that is often referred to as a mathematical transliteration of the crossword. The canonical Kakuro puzzle is played in a grid of filled and barred cells, "black" and "white" respectively. Kakuro puzzles are easy to learn, language-independent logic puzzles, that are successfully following the footsteps of the worldwide Sudoku success. The puzzles require just pure logic and simple add/subtract calculations. Our numerical-crossword puzzles will bring you into a fascinating world of number combinations you never imagined could exist. Defined as number crosswords, Kakuro puzzles come in endless variations, are available in almost any grid size and range from very easy to extremely difficult taking anything from ten minutes to several hours to solve. Make one mistake and you'll find yourself stuck later on as you get closer to the solution... If you like Sudoku and other logic puzzles, you will love Kakuro. Apart from the top row and leftmost column which are entirely black, the grid is divided into "entries", lines of white cells by the black cells. The black cells contain a diagonal slash from upper-left to lower-right and a number in one or both halves, such that each horizontal entry has a number in the black half-cell to its immediate left and each vertical entry has a number in the black half-cell immediately above it. These numbers, borrowing crossword terminology, are commonly called "clues". The objective of the puzzle is to insert a digit from 1 to 9 inclusive into each white cell so that the sum of the numbers in each entry matches the clue associated with it and that no digit is duplicated in any entry. It is that lack of duplication that makes creating Kakuro puzzles with unique solutions possible. Just like Sudoku, solving a Kakuro puzzle involves investigating various combinations and permutations.
