Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Kakuro is the subsequent hot puzzle craze, and everyone can give it a try with this new, multilevel series. These language-free number puzzles use pure logic and require just simple arithmetic to solve. So, in addition to being fun, they help develop your powers of deduction and reasoning. Beginners can get started - and more experienced solvers hone their skills - with these perfectly tiered 'belt' books, each containing 150 kakuros. They take their cue from the belt colors in martial arts: white is for novices, purple for intermediates, brown for very accomplished players, and grey for those consummate experts who crave a challenge.

I like the puzzle size in this book. They are full page size puzzles and take a while to solve. They are not filled with grey spaces so you have quite a few combinations to solve. It makes puzzle solving a pleasure!

I like to consider myself a puzzle lover, and even though I haven't mastered Sudoku (I'm a second-degree brown belt), I switched over to Kakuro in the hopes of improving my problem-solving "a-ha" abilities.
Kakuro is similar to sudoku but incorporates more of a numerical crossword puzzle framework. At times I feel like I'm relearning arithmetic; even though the equations are the sum of single digits, there are numerous combinations which make you feel like you're a very first grader (aka "how could I have added 1+2+3 and get 7?").
The great thing about this series is that on the last page of the book, there is a list of unique combinations, which are key to solving the puzzles (e.g. a three-digit combination for 24 can only consist of 7+8+9). You will find yourself relying heavily on this sheet because, after all, the numbers will soon start to blend together, but in a good way.
Another side effect from kakuro is that when I returned to my sudoku puzzles, I found that I was challenged again, and that is just as good of a feeling as solving the puzzle itself.
