Welcome to Puzzle Barn Press's fun and challenging Triple Game Threat - 300 Puzzles - Word Search, Sikaku - Kendoku!
A KAKURO puzzle is constructed in a crossword grid, very similar to a standard crossword, but the digits 1 to 9 are used instead of the letters of the alphabet.
A SIKAKU puzzle consists of a square or rectangular grid in which some of the cells contain a one or two-digit number. The solver must divide the puzzle into a number of rectangles so that each rectangle contains exactly one of the number, and that number must be equal to the area of the rectangle that contains it.
This will provide enough information to solve the puzzle. Each puzzle has a unique solution, and no guessing is required.
A typical WORD-SEARCH puzzle consists of a matrix of letters in which a number of words are embedded. The words may run up or down, forward or backward, or in any diagonal direction. A list of the words used in each puzzle is provided.
KENDOKU puzzles are built on square grids. To solve them you must place numbers into the puzzle cells in such a way that each row and column contains each of the digits from 1 up to the size of the puzzle. The puzzle is divided into Domains which are areas surrounded by a bold outline, and containing from two up to four cells. Each domain contains a hint consisting of a number and one of the mathematical symbols + x - /. The number is the result of applying the mathematical operation represented by the symbol to the digits contained within the domain.
This will provide enough information to allow each of the digits to be determined. Each puzzle has a unique solution, and no guessing is required.
This is a beautiful set of high-intensity challenges, but note that the number puzzles rotate in difficulty on a 7-puzzle cycle.
