Kakuro Puzzles
Puzzle Workbooks for Kids - Updated Each Month!

Kakuro puzzles are like crosswords with numbers. Using the digits 1 through 9, students fill in cells so that the digits add up to the numbers in gray provided within the cells in the puzzle. As always, edHelper offers many puzzle options so that younger students can do Kakuro as well, and so that older students can start off easier and work up to more difficult puzzles. Unlike standard Kakuro, edHelper offers the options of changing the operation from addition to multiplication. It also offers the option of including decimals within the puzzle.

One Number Hints (a more challenging kakuro!)

All hints are for the sum (or product) of the
block to the right and down

Standard kakuro: a hint for block to the right
and a hint for block down

Decimals


No Decimals		Tenths will be added

If you select the tenths option, each number will have a random tenth added (0.1 to 0.9).
The random number is only chosen once. So 2 could become 2.4 and it will always be 2.4 (not 2.3).
The list of numbers will be given to the student in the directions at the top of the page.
