    The 2 differences between Sudoku and Kakuro which make it difference is the irreguar shapes and the idea tht the numbers must add up. A very difficult Kakuro will also need good logic to solve just like Sudoku. It has to be the next revolution even though you don’t see it in the bookstores like Sudoku
