Here is Yakazu, a logic game that captivates me. In a grid, there are series of white squares interspersed with black squares, a bit like a crossword puzzle grid. You have to place numbers in each entry, which is a sequence of consecutive white squares, both vertical and horizontal. These numbers depend on the length of the entry. For example, for an entry of three consecutive squares, you must enter the numbers 1 to 3. The catch is that a square is part of two entries (vertical and horizontal), so you must respect the constraints of both entries (in other words, the number in the square must not violate both constraints). This does not apply if the entry is a single cell, in which case the constraint of the other entry applies. Here are two 6x6 grids to get you started and a final 12x12 grid to get your brain cells working overtime.

This summer, why not play a funny puzzle requiring logic and deduction. The Yakazu puzzle fits this description. Put numbers in each entry. For an entry of size N you must put all the numbers from 1 to N. The trick is that a cell belongs to a vertical entry and also a horizontal entry. So for each cell, you must respect the limit of the smaller entry. For example a cell belonging to a horizontal entry of size 6 and also to a vertical entry of size 3, then, for this cell, you must enter a number from 1 to 3. The exception is when an entry is of size 1, then you respect the limit of the other entry. I provide you 4 grids. Enjoy !

Here are some Yakazu puzzles, two in size 9x9 and the last one in size 9x12. All you have to do is enter into each entry, an entry being a sequence of white cells, the numbers from 1 to N. (N. being the size of the entry). The problem is that several cells in an entry cross another entry of a different size. In this case, the number in the cell must respect the entry with the smallest size. Logic, patience and far-sightedness are required to succeed in this game.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. New puzzles will appear in 2025, like Super Sudoku Snowflakes. But to finish off 2024, here are two yakazus. These sizes are 8x8, so the maximum entry size is 8.
Before I finish, I would like to thank you for your support and loyalty of Innoludic.

Yakazu is a hybrid of crossword, kakuro and sudoku (no less). All you have to do is place numbers from 1 to x (x being the size of the entry) in the entries (consecutive white squares, both horizontal and vertical), so that every number is present. Here are two 9x9 grids.
Captivating and addictive!
