Description
Over seventeen thousand completely free Kakuro puzzles! Access a practically unlimited library of challenging logic puzzles!
Kakuro is a numbers puzzle that plays like a cross between Sudoku and a crossword puzzle. Utilize logic and the process of elimination to place digits in columns and rows such that their sum matches their clues and no digit is placed twice within any column or row.
Kakuro Endless contains over seventeen thousand full free puzzles, displayed within an aesthetically pleasing and easy to use game board. It features zooming for easier play, pencil marks for making notes within cells, and a hide-able cheat sheet that displays digit combinations for tricky sums.
What’s New
Version 1.6
In this version of Kakuro Endless you'll find a new hint feature. Hint Mode doesn't just provide you with a next solve step, it also explains the logical steps required to deduce that step! It's the perfect tool for those tricky puzzles you just can't crack, and for learning the techniques required to master Kakuro.
This tool is in development, and explanations will become more concise and intuitive over time. Feedback is appreciated!
Ratings and Reviews
Excellent and free
A very nice collection of right-sized puzzles—big enough to be interesting, but not so big as to be tedious or hard to work on. The interface is clean, elegant, and mercifully free of gratuitous animations. If a square has more than one value then they are guesses (valid options), if just one value that is your answer. You can also double-click a number to make it the answer. I do wish it had undo, as it is easy to change the wrong square by accident. But for free I am not complaining. My favorite of the Kakuro apps I tried (at any price).
Needs the ability to note in squares
I do like the simple clean layout. Some puzzles need the ability for the player to note the numbers that could appear in each square. Could you add a feature where the player can add the small potential numbers into a square. I have done a lot of Kakuro and the potential combinations can be very difficult. It’s always fulfilling to be able to solve logically. But, the ones that you have to guess with trial and error are very difficult on an app unless you can see all the potential numbers for each square. I finished puzzle 1 fine, but puzzle 2 has so many possibilities that it would take hours of guessing to figure it out. I could do this with pencil and paper along with the app but that kind of defeats the purpose of using an app.
Developer Response ,
Hi, thanks for the feedback! You actually can leave notes in the squares, but it admittedly takes a little experimentation to figure out how. If you select a cell and tap just one number, then that number is submitted as the answer, but if you tap a second number then both numbers shrink and become notes. So, to note that a cell may contain 1, 2, or 3, you would tap the cell and then tap 1, 2, and 3.
I love it!! Best Kakuro app EVER!!
I love everything about this app. The simplistic, clean layout is aesthetically pleasing. Operating the game is easy and functional. It is everything that I am looking for in a puzzle to calm my mind. At first, I thought some of the puzzles were unsolvable, it is both challenging and calming, at the same time. If there was a daily hint or something to get through the most difficult puzzles, I would gladly spend money on this app.

I'm glad you're enjoying! The app now has hints, and they're unlimited and free to use!
