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.
