Second-Degree White Belt Kakuro (Martial Arts Puzzles Series)

Great generic puzzle book

I absolutely love this series. It is a good size -- easy for travel or just use at home. I use mine as a travel journal of sorts. I take it on trips and as I do each puzzle I record the date and what I did that day. Fun to look back at. I had done all the first degree books and was excited to see the new second degree series out! The puzzles are a good size and print is easy to read. After finishing 6 of these books I am yet to find an error. I used to be a suduko player, but got bored. These books have kept my interest for quite awhile. It takes me about a year to finish each book. I've done several different books over the years and this series has been by far my favorite.

My absolute favorite brand of kakuro booms. I love the paper it is printed in so I can make lists of notes and mistakes and erase as needed. Honestly I know that’s weird but the paper is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this series. I love the large size puzzles. One per page. I always recommend this when people ask my about the puzzles.

I love these books! They aren’t spiral-bound so I go through & do all the right-hand pages. Then i rip out the page to do the left hand. Put them on a clipboard. These are so fun if you love adding.

Love this level - exactly hard enough to keep me interested and challenged but easy enough to finish without cheating ! Love the size for travel too

I've only done sudoku books so I thought I'd branch out. Good quality book. Thick pages. The pages smell a little like a workshop, perhaps the ink? My Will Shortz books smell heavenly. Like a fresh off the press novel. However, this book is not one to go putting your nose in.

Met a woman in a doctor's waiting room who talked me into trying Kakuro. She said that if you love Sudoku and crossword puzzles, then Kakuro is just the thing for you. I tried this beginner book and it just made me feel stupid. I don't get the trick of it even after trying constantly for a week when I was on vacation. I started on the baby-level puzzle and could hardly make it through. Guess I just don't have the brain for it! I'm back to Sudoku and crossword puzzles and feeling smart again. I'm a college-educated person and just couldn't crack how these puzzles work. And figured my marriage would take a beating if I tried to meet the challenge. Now that I think of it, the spouse of the woman I met in the doctor's waiting room said this woman spent hours and hours with her nose in these puzzle books... Maybe not a great thing for a happy marriage. Stick with the Sudoku and crosswords and keep your marriage happy is what I say!

I haven't been able to find these puzzles in a while; I learned it as Cross Sums (in Games magazine). I found one app for Android, but there are some things you just need a pencil and paper for so I'm glad I found some books. This one was pretty easy, as is advertised.

Good for the price.

Love Kakuro much cheaper than buying the monthly magazines.

I gifted this book to my dad and he thoroughly enjoys solving the puzzles in this book...as usual prompt delivery by Amazon... Keep it up .

If you love Sudoku, then you ought to give Kakuro a try. These puzzles are amazing, really.
