Try kenken

Solve these mathematical logic puzzles that combine Sudoku's grid-filling with arithmetic operations. KenKen (Japanese for 'wisdom') uses cages (outlined groups of cells) with target numbers and operations (+, -, ×, ÷). Fill the grid so each row and column contains unique digits (1-6 for 6x6 puzzles) while making each cage's math work. Start with 4x4 beginner puzzles, progress to 9x9 advanced grids. KenKen strengthens mental math, logical deduction, and problem-solving without requiring advanced mathematics. Daily puzzles available in newspapers, online (kenkenpuzzle.com), and mobile apps. Created by Japanese educator Tetsuya Miyamoto to make math fun.

Solve kakuro

Master these mathematical crosswords that combine logic with arithmetic. Kakuro grids contain clues (sums) for horizontal and vertical runs of cells. Fill cells with digits 1-9 (no repeats within a run) that add to the given sum. Start with small puzzles to learn common number combinations (17 in 2 cells must be 8+9), develop elimination strategies, and recognize patterns. Kakuro exercises mental arithmetic, logical deduction, and pattern recognition more than calculation—you're figuring out which numbers fit, not computing sums. Difficulty ranges from easy to extremely challenging. Free puzzles online at puzzle sites and daily newspapers.
