Kakuro is already sweeping Japan--it's a phenomenon even more addictive than sudoku--and now it's here. An ingenious blend of numbers and logic, kakuro offers the supreme challenge for puzzlers of all ages. It's played on grids of various sizes, offering different levels of difficulty. The object is to make each row add up to the number given at the top (for down rows) or the left (for across rows). Like sudoku, it uses only the numbers from 1 to 9, each appearing no more than once in each row. Here are 200 irresistibly engaging puzzles, graded from "Easy" to "Fiendish," plus tips on how to master them. Win or lose, it always adds up to fun.

What could be more appealing to Mensa members--or anyone who enjoys a good challenge--than a cunning test of intelligence and logic? That's exactly what these 250 puzzles provide. The trick to kakuro is in making it all add up: the game begins with a grid that looks like a crossword, except that some squares contain small numbers in the corner. Fill in all the empty boxes using the numbers 1 to 9 without repeats so that the sum of each horizontal set of digits equals the number in the black triangle to its left, and the sum of each vertical set of digits equals the number in the triangle above it. The kakuro puzzles start out simple...and get more difficult as the book progresses.

Kakuro is sometimes described as a "number crossword" or "mathematical crossword," and indeed the puzzle grids resemble those of crossword puzzles. In contrast to Sudoku, where you start with each square blank; clues to filling them in are in the horizontal and vertical totals given for each row and column, and in "Kakuro blocks," combinations of the only numbers that will match certain totals. Just as in Dudoku, logic plays a big role....and there is only one correct solution.

Word squares have been around for literally thousands of years (the oldest known example has been found in ruins across the Roman Empire, including the walls of Pompeii). Each word square is a group of words, all of the same length, arranged so the word in row one is the same as that in column one; row two the same as column two; and so forth. Easy word squares are four-by-four; much harder are eight-by-eights; given a few letter clues, the goal is to fill a perfect word square. In this book, puzzle master Alastair Chisholm has produced 201 brainteasers--from Delicious to Vicious--that will stretch your vocabulary and challenge your puzzle solving skills.
