## Kakuro Challenge Description
Kakuro is one of the oldest logic grid puzzles. Kakuro is like a crossword puzzle with numbers. Each word must add up to the number provided in the clue above it or to the left. A given number can only be used once in a word. Every kakuro puzzle has one and only solution, and can be solved through logic alone.

Dot Kakuro is a new variant of Kakuro puzzle. No digit can be duplicated in a row or column. If difference between two numbers in neighboring cells equals 1, then they are separated by a dot. If a dot is absent between two white cells, the difference between the numbers in these cells is more than 1.

## Kakuro Challenge Reviews in United States

### ****- "Great but not enough puzzles"
This was my favorite Nakuru game but it has a limited number of puzzles. After you solve all the free and the paid puzzles your only option it to do the previously solved puzzles over again. They haven’t added any new puzzles.
-- Bunkinhunter, 2023-10-06

### *---- "Numbers not working"
Great game, but the numbers mainly 123 do not work most of the time.
-- Vekrab 12, 2023-05-20

### *---- "Too easy, extreme done in 2:36 and no big puzzles"
Avoid
-- puzlgeik, 2021-11-04

### ***** "Great app!"
I downloaded dot Kakuro because it reminded me of kropki. Dot Kakuro is fun to play and is one of my favorite number games.
-- me clt 56, 2021-01-10

### ***** "Very easy to use"
Much more convenient than by paper and pencil
-- bobw96, 2020-07-22

### ***** "Give us more"
I have really enjoyed this game. Each time I learn some “other”trick or nuance. I would love to see an app devoted to “dot” Kakuro, so there would be more to choose from.
Good job.
-- Yankeejimg, 2019-01-03

### ***-- "Not hard enough."
I enjoy the game ,but it is not hard enough.
-- Marygerry, 2018-11-03

### ***** "Creative and fun"
Very creative variation of kakuro and a lot of fun. Seems a bit more challenging at start
-- ProdevteamConvert, 2018-03-28

### ***** "I love it."
Works very smoothly. So good for keeping sharp with numbers and absolutely addictive. You learn numbers with very limited possibilities quickly and the game speeds up.
-- Sultaniia, 2018-03-17

### ***-- "Enjoyable, easy to use, a bit stingy"
I'd say this game is pretty good. So far I've played Kukuro, and Dot Kukuro which I like because you get to use the type of logic required for Sudoku in a Kukuro puzzle.

I didn't rate it higher because you only get 35 free puzzles. Then each set of 25 puzzles is 99 cents each. Seriously way too expensive. Other apps I've used are much more generous. On the other hand, out of the three I've tried, this one is the easiest to use, has the best design. 

This app is worth downloading to play 35 free puzzles. After that, I'd look elsewhere.
