Kakuro is a puzzle game that's a cross between both traditional crosswords and Sudoku.

Just like Sudoku you must fit the digits 1 to 9 into a grid of squares so that no digit is repeated within a defined area. And just like a crossword there's a grid of filled blocks and clues to solve.

In Kakuro, there are across and down clues, just like in a crossword, but they give the sum of the digits in the relevant areas - which is why the puzzles are also called Cross Sums. The clues are written within the grid, to the left or the top of the area they apply to.
