Crack open another Beck’s. It’s time for some good ol’ fashion puzzle solving with MK2k’s Kakuro Nichiyou.

Like I said before, Kakuro Nichiyou is a variant of Sudoku; it’s often referred to as a mathematical transliteration of the crossword. Needless to say, it’ll give that brain of yours the exercise it requires. Unless of course you wimp out and use the puzzle solver, in which case, tsk tsk.

Kakuro Nichiyou v1.2 features:

• 254 hand-picked/created Puzzles (20 new since version 1.1) from Puzzle makers all over the world. Permission granted by Otto Janko, a great Puzzle collector visit his website.
• Play Kakuros by setting numbers in the free fields, you can even make “notes” in each field (small numbers from 1..9)
• save your current progress to one of 20 different save slots
• The current state of the built-in solver is the ability to solve 223 out of the 254 Puzzles completely. It cannot find a solution for the other puzzles but gives you the found notes of the remaining fields (or maybe just a good laugh)
• 4 graphics themes for you to select (thanks to Dargo)
