About Kakuro (Daily Mail)
Kakuro is one of about thirty puzzles on the Daily Mail games page, free in the browser with ads. Each one opens on a start screen that carries the day's date, and every reader gets the same puzzle that day.
A kakuro grid looks like a crossword, but the clues are numbers. Each clue gives the total of the run of white squares to its right or below it, and you fill those squares with the digits 1 to 9 so they add up to the total without repeating a digit inside the run.
