 Great puzzles July 2, 2008
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 black spaces so you have quite a few combinations to solve. It makes puzzle solving a pleasure!
 If you like Sudoku, you will be challenged with Kakuro December 4, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 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.
