Kakuro are language-free number puzzles that use logic and require just simple arithmetic to solve. This book contains 150 kakuros. It takes 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.
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.
A moderate challenge

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.
entertaining

Great, basic, compact sized - - - challenging enough so as not to be boring, easy enough so as not to frustrate me.
Finally a good Kakuro book

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.
Great PUzzle Book

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!
