6x6 Kakuro Puzzles

The 6x6 kakuro is the smallest size of the series: its first row and first column hold the clues, which leaves a five-by-five area of black and white cells. No run is longer than five cells, so the combinations stay short and easy to list on the side of the page.

Every page shows one large grid, at Easy, Medium or Hard. Easy grids open from clues that allow one set of digits only; Medium and Hard grids hide more of their digits behind the crossings. Every grid has one solution.

How to Solve a 6x6 Kakuro

Write the combinations of the shortest runs first: two cells adding up to 3 are 1 and 2, three cells adding up to 24 are 7, 8 and 9. Where such a run crosses another one, the shared cell can only hold a digit both runs allow, and a whole small grid often unravels from that single cell.

Three Levels on a Small Grid

On Easy grids, a careful look at the clues is enough. Medium grids ask why a digit must sit in one cell of its run, for example the only cell whose crossing run allows it. Hard grids sometimes need a full run tested in your head before its first digit is certain.

A First Kakuro for Adults and Teens

One grid fills the page, with cells wide enough for pencil marks. Its short runs make it a good daily habit for practicing mental addition, and a friendly start for sudoku players curious about kakuro.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a 6x6 kakuro look like a 5x5 grid?

Because the size includes the black row and column that carry the first clues. The cells you actually fill sit in the five rows and five columns below and to the right of them.

Do I need to know the combination tables?

No. On a 6x6 grid, the runs are short enough to work out their combinations as you go, and a few of them, like 3 in two cells or 6 in three cells, quickly become familiar.
