Kakuro in Just One More, among the Honeycombs

How to play Kakuro

Cross Sums in a sunlit meadow. Fill each cell with 1–9 so every run of bees adds up to the nectar clue, and no digit repeats within a run.

  1. Fill With 1 Through 9

    Every empty cell holds a single digit, 1 through 9. The black corner-cells with two numbers are clue tiles, not playable.

  2. Each Run Adds to Its Clue

    A clue's bottom-left number is the sum for the row of cells to its right; the top-right number is the sum for the column below.

  3. No Repeats in a Run

    Within any single run of cells, every digit must be different. So a run summing to 6 in two cells must be 1+5 or 2+4, never 3+3.

  4. Find the Forced Cells

    Some sums only fit one combination. "3 in two cells" must be 1 and 2. Start there, then narrow the rest with column constraints.

Four difficulty levels

Every level keeps its own streak, best and high score, so climbing costs you nothing.

Easy
Compact 4×4 grids. Fewer runs, gentler clues.
Medium
Standard meadow. 5×5 and 5×6 layouts.
Hard
Larger 6×6 boards. More cells, more bees.
Very Hard
Big honeycombs only. Long runs and sharp clues.
