Try to solve kakuro with the principle of exclusion. By examining the block length and the sum of the bordering black field you can see that there can be only a fixed set of solutions. We prepared the tables with possible combinations of sums by the block length.
|
Tables with possible sums:
with field number: 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9
|
with 2 fields:
sum ( reference number ) : possible solution
