Eliminate “brute force” hint games

I very much enjoy the “very hard” Kakuro puzzles. Learn a lot about the logical ways to remove candidates. However, I am greatly disappointed when I get a “brute force” ( = guess ) hint with 20 squares yet to go. Either a guess is truly required or the logical hint is too difficult to explain in the app. Either way, I really don’t care to pay for these games that end like this. The claim is that properly structured games should not require guessing. Is there a way to save the game state so one can return to the point of the first brute force guess….after wandering in the forest of guesses?

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. In most cases, the brute force steps have a logical solution which is too difficult to explain. In case you come across such a step and don't know how to proceed, please send us a screenshot to support@conceptispuzzles.com and we will try to help.

Brain Gain

Keeps me working that brain and thinking.

Fun and challenging

The games are a great way to stimulate your mind. If you enjoy a challenge, this a great game for you!

Good fun!

App keeps the game interesting, challenging, and there’s some nice helping tools.

Does not save anymore

Since the last upgrade, the app no longer saves my weekly puzzle in progress. This is the same on all Conceptis apps.
These are my favorite puzzle apps, but I can no longer play the more challenging ones due to having to start over every time I open it.

Challenging & Gun

Great game to stay sharp with math skills

Great Kakuro

I thoroughly enjoy this version. I play the hardest and can usually finish in 60 minutes.

Favorite “game” app

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Two issues, but still best Cross Sums app I found

The game lets you rule out options, like saying I know “134” doesn’t work, but “125” does. Undo doesn’t track such changes, I wish it did. Also, its error reporting would be better if it tracked when the rules are broken, such as repeating a number, instead of highlighting a sum that disagrees with the solution, because my most common mistakes are due to typing errors, which are easily missed, not logic errors.

[Response to dev response] I reported the bug with undo about 3 years ago and was told it is too costly to fix. As to highlighting simple errors, I have “Show errors” on, and it absolutely would not be a spoiler to circle the two “1”s I mistakenly entered, and I hate that the option shows me any spoilers. I have responded with more details to the email provided.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The undo feature tracks (and will undo) any changes which you make on the screen. In case it doesn't work this way for you, please send us an email to support@conceptispuzzles.com so we understand the exact issue and fix it. Thank you for your support. Regarding error reporting, the app actually does exactly what you want: when a number is repeated, the duplicate numbers will be highlighted with a circle. However, to get this feature working you need to turn the "Show errors" setting to ON. Also note that the errors will only be shown when a block is completed to minimize "spoilers" during the gameplay.

No ads!!!! Really free!!!

Not a con. No ads. Really free.

Melhor jogo desse tipo

Amazing App!

I love playing this game, and this app makes it so good! The UI is very easy, and not cluttered. You just focus on the game, not on ads and crazy distractions.

Have to get it their way

Sometimes you can have a combination that works, but won’t solve the puzzle because they have it coded for a different assortment

仮定って…

超上級でヒント使ったら仮定で数字消し始めたんだけど…それはなんか違うじゃん

レビューありがとうございます。カーソルについて、よろしければ詳細を問い合わせメールにいただけましたらご検討させていただきます。 度々ご不便をおかけし申し訳ございません。ヒント使用につき、疑問のある個所について画像等いただけましたらお調べさせていただきたいと思います。

Almost perfect

Only feature I like to add is being able to highlight and add pencil marks to multiple cells in one operation

Play these daily and love them

I love playing these puzzles and there are no pesky adverts interfering with the focus.

Different difficulty levels to choose from, whether you just want to spend a quick-fix few minutes or are in the mood for something more challenging.

I like that there is the option to check progress to see if you’ve made any mistakes.

The Show Hint option can be handy, though I’d prefer it, if it also worked without having to use the option to auto-fill all pencil marks.

Great app, thank you. 😊

Difficult but doable, lots of fun

Good but flawed

I am enjoying this new-to-me type of puzzle but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve “solved” a puzzle and satisfied all the sums just for the app to tell me I’m wrong, and then I have to guess which of the multiple valid solutions the app actually wants me to enter. Please fix it so that all valid solutions are accepted
