What are Kakuro Puzzles?
Kakuro Puzzles are a grid-based logic puzzle that involves placing the numbers 1-9 in the blank squares. These puzzles have also been known as Cross Sums or Cross Addition puzzles.
The grid is divided into horizontal blocks which include a clue on the left side of the block and vertical blocks which include a clue on the top of the block.
Here’s a sample kakuro puzzle and solution.
Place the numbers 1-9 in the blocks so that the sum of the numbers in the blocks are equal to the horizontal and vertical clues. Importantly, no number may be used more than once in the same block.
Snowflake Kakuro Instructions
Complete the snowflake grids with the numbers 1-9 so that the sum of each horizontal block is equal to the clue on its left and the sum of each vertical block equals the clue on its top. No number may be used more than once in the same block.
I also created a version with only 1 puzzle to a page. These will be more suited for students working together on a single puzzle. I recommend sliding the puzzle in a dry erase pocket!

Puzzle Solutions
Puzzle solutions are available on a password-protected solution page. I do not openly post the puzzle answer keys because one of my goals as a resource creator is to craft learning experiences for students that are non-google-able. I want teachers to be able to use these puzzles in their classrooms without the solutions being found easily on the Internet.
Please email me at sarah@mathequalslove.net for the password to the answer key database featuring all of my printable puzzles and math worksheets. I frequently have students emailing me for the answer key, so please specify in your email what school you teach at and what subjects you teach. If you do not provide these details, I will not be able to send you the password.
Not a teacher? Go ahead and send me an email as well. Just let me know what you are using the puzzles for. I am continually in awe of how many people are using these puzzles with scouting groups, with senior adults battling dementia, or as fun activities in their workplace. Just give me enough details so I know you are not a student looking for answers to the puzzle that was assigned as their homework!
