Kakuro Instructions
Each kakuro puzzle consists of a number of rows and columns, some cells are empty and light coloured, others some have numbers in them.
Every sequence of cells in either a row or a column is called a 'run'. At the left of each horizontal run, and at the top of each vertical run, you will see a number. The sum of the numbers under, or to the left of the number must equal that number.
Using this information alone, you can solve a kakuro puzzle. The key constraint is that you can only use a number once in each run. Therefore if you need to make '6' from two numbers, you cannot use '3' twice, but must rather use 1 and 5 or 4 and 2. You may only use the numbers 1 to 9.
