Calm Kakuro that teaches.
No ads. One-time purchase.
Kakuro is a crossword made of sums. Every puzzle here has exactly one solution you can reach by logic alone, and when you get stuck, the hint names the technique you are missing instead of handing you the digit.
- App Store iPhone and iPad, coming soon
- Google Play Android, coming soon
The 16 in 2 run is a magic block: its clue can be made only one way.
- Names the technique
- Outlines the cells
- Explains the step
Built to make you better at Kakuro
No energy bars, no coins, no pop-ups. Just good puzzles, and help when you ask for it.
- Never a guess
- Every puzzle has one solution and a recorded path of logical steps to it. Our solver checks each one before it ships.
- Hints that teach
- A hint first names the technique and points at the run. Ask again and it outlines the cells; once more and it explains the step in two sentences. It fills a digit only if you tap Apply.
- Honest difficulty
- Each tier, from Gentle to Expert, is a named set of techniques. After every solve you see the key step, so you can check the label yourself.
- Every tool, free
- Notes, auto-candidates, the combinations helper, hints, undo and check are free for everyone. Auto-candidates never bring back a note you removed.
- A forgiving daily
- One puzzle a day for everyone, gentle on Monday and building to Expert on Sunday, plus a Mini. Streaks come with two freezes a month and survive time zones.
- Web and phone, offline
- The same puzzles in your browser, on iPhone and on Android. No account needed; sign in only to keep Pro and your streak across devices.
