HEX and KAKURO are both valid in scrabble, perhaps slightly surprisingly. Unfortunately the latter is virtually unplayable due to the set of scrabble tiles containing only one K, which puts it among the ranks of ZYZZYVA, MAXIXE and QUQU. (ok maybe the last one hasn't quite made it into the dictionary yet). Today instead we'll be playing digit scrabble with this Kakuro (Hexagonal)!

Rules: Place a number from 1 to 9 into each empty cell so that no number is repeated in any unobstructed line. A number clue represents the sum of the numbers in that direction. Clues cannot see numbers through other blocked cells.
