Free printable kakuro

Kakuro is a number crossword: fill each run of white cells with distinct digits so they add up to the printed sum for that run. Fans of logic puzzles and cross-sums enjoy the mix of arithmetic and careful placement, from beginners to regular solvers.

This page includes a free high-resolution printable Kakuro image, sized for a 6x9 inch page, plus a matching solution page. Download the PNGs at no cost, print them at home, and enjoy a clean puzzle ready for personal or classroom use.

How to play

  1. Scan the grid for short runs with high or low sums; those often pin digits first.
  2. Fill each run with distinct digits from 1 to 9 that total its printed sum.
  3. Cross-check shared cells so each digit works for both the across and down run.
  4. Pencil lightly, then ink only when a placement is certain.

Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper with black ink so the 6x9 inch Kakuro grid stays sharp and easy to write on.
