➕ Daily Kakuro

The crossword's number cousin: fill runs that sum to their clues.

Kakuro is what happens when a crossword meets Sudoku. Black cells carry clues; each white run must add up to its clue, with no digit repeated inside a run. DailyGrid's Kakuro is generated fresh daily with a verified unique solution, and the grids grow through the week.

How DailyGrid's Kakuro works

🗓️ A fresh puzzle every day at midnight Eastern — and it never repeats: every puzzle is checked against everything we've published.
📈 Difficulty ramps with the week: 6×6 grids early, 8×8 midweek, 10×10 on hard days, with longer runs.
💸 The daily puzzles are free. Always. No subscription, no account, no locked boards.

Tips

Memorize the magic pairs. 3 in two cells is always 1+2; 4 is 1+3; 16 is 7+9; 17 is 8+9.
Intersect runs. A cell sits in one across and one down run — digits legal in both are rare and precious.
Start at the extremes. Very small and very large clues have the fewest combinations.

Kakuro is one of the rarer daily puzzles online — and at DailyGrid it's free every day, as part of the ten-game streak.
