The game of Kakuro

Kakuro is a logic placement puzzle. The goal is to enter a number from 1 through 9 in each empty cell of a grid, which is made up of a variable number of empty and black cells. The challenge is to place the numbers so each horizontal or vertical line only has up to one instance of any number.

Controls

Kakuro may be played with or without a stylus (if your device supports it). To play with a stylus, simply tap on the game cell you wish to change. When the cell selector window appears, you may choose "Pencil Mark" in the current cell for any and all numbers. This is useful if you need to make a note of a possible clue. To select a number, make sure "Select" is chosen and press the appropriate number. To cancel or unselect a number, press the X button

To play without a stylus, you have two options depending on your device. To play with the 5-way control, press up/down/left/right to move the onscreen selector. Once the selector is on a cell you would like to change, press the center of the 5-way control (d-pad). This will show the cell selector window, again you can navigate the cell selector window using the 5-way control.

For devices with a numeric keypad (ie, 0-9 buttons), you may set the value of the highlighted cell by pressing and holding the appropriate button. For example, to set the current cell to 1, you would press and hold the "1" button.
