Kenken puzzles are a little like sudoku puzzles in that they have a range of numbers to be used in both the columns (up/down) and the rows (left/right).

The size of the kenken determines which numbers you must use. If it is a 4 x4 grid, the numbers are 1,2,3&4. A 6x6 grid: 1,2,3,4,5&6.

The numbers need to be placed in such a way that only one of each digit is in each row or column - again, just like sudoku. Such as:

1 2 3 4

2 4 1 3

3 1 4 2

4 3 2 1

HOWEVER... the kenken has an added MATHMATICAL PUZZLE thrown in as well!

Instead of being broken into segments (9x9 sudoku has nine 3x3 segments) the kenken puzzle has different sized & shaped areas with a mathematical answer given for the area.

These mathematical puzzles are given in the form of a numerical answer and an operand, usually liited to +, -, x or ÷(the last is division if the character doesn't display properly.) In single cell segments NO OPERAND is used and the answer for that cell is the numerical value given.

The mathematical problem in each segment must be solved using the available digits and the mathematical operand.

For example, in a 4x4 puzzle a three cell segment might be represented by...

7+

...thus you would need to use 3 digits that add up (+) to a total of 7.

Depending on the shape of the segment, these digits might all be in the same row or column - thus you may only use one of each such as...

4 or 4 1 2

2

1

But if the segment was spaced over both rows and columns (often in an L or box shape), it can reuse digits IF they do not occur in the same row or column, such as...

4 1 --or-- 3 1

2 -------- 3

There is more but these basics will allow you to begin to have fun with kenken puzzles.
