Green Belt Kakuro: 150 Puzzles (Martial Arts Kakuro)

Kakuro is the next hot puzzle craze, and everyone can give it a try with this new, multilevel series. These language-free number puzzles use pure logic and require just simple arithmetic to solve. So, in addition to being fun, they help develop your powers of deduction and reasoning. Beginners can get started - and more experienced solvers hone their skills - with these perfectly tiered "belt" books, each containing 150 kakuros. They take their cue from the belt colors in martial arts: white is for novices, green for intermediates, brown for very accomplished players, and black for those consummate experts who crave a challenge.

5A moderate challenge  Dec 14, 2009
By H. Kahl
I have really enjoyed this "Belt" series of Kakuro books. This is the second easiest volume, but offers a good challenge for Kakuro solvers with some experience. Expert solvers may find this a little too easy and may prefer the Brown or Black Belt collections. Whoever wrote these is very good at precisely grading the difficulty of each puzzle. I can't think of one time that I have thought that a particular puzzle was misplaced. Highly recommended.

5Just right  Dec 26, 2009

I'm one of those who started out doing Sudoku in the daily paper and easily bored of it. Kakuro is the next progression up, where you actually have to count. Like Sudoku, there's a great deal of logic involved, and you won't really gain competence until you figure out the unique combinations. (Like a sum of 23 with 3 digits has to be a 6-8-9. A sum of 11 with 4 digits has to be 1-2-3-5.)

This book is at a level of challenge that appeals to me. There are a few that a pretty simple (toooo soft), a few that are darn challenging (tooo hard), but most are in that wonderful just right. My only complaint about the book is that outside of the first few puzzles, they use the same grid. I'd like to shake it up a bit ... some more squarish than rectangular. I know, I know. Those don't fit well into rectangular books.

I just started Brown Belt and so far so good!

5Green Belt Kakuro is tops  Dec 24, 2009
By Barbara Anderson "Barb"
This book of kakuro puzzles is very well made. The paper quality is excellent which means that my pencil does not tear the paper and I can erase easily. The puzzles are challenging without being too easy.

5Finally a good Kakuro book  Mar 02, 2009
By Michael S. "Rocket Scientist"
I have found a lot of Kakuro books that are just not that challenging, or books that have 125 easy puzzles and 25 hard ones. I like that this series provides a consistent gradually increasing challenge.

5Great PUzzle Book  Feb 22, 2008
By GusEmery "keeping it simple"
I have purchased quite a few books of Kakuro puzzles and this book ranks up there with the best. The puzzles are large 13X22 columns and rows. I enjoy large puzzles and this book contains 150 of them. The puzzles are difficult and it takes a while to complete each one but that's part of the fun!
