Kakuro puzzles are like crosswords that use numbers instead of words. The goal is to fill the blank squares associated
with a clue (called a “run”) with the numbers 1-9 so that the numbers add up to the corresponding clues. Like Sudoku,
digits in a run cannot repeat. When the grid is filled, the puzzle is complete.
