I was doing them when they were still called Number Place in the old Dell math puzzle books.  Besides, Kakuro (formerly Cross Sums) is crosswords for people who can't spell.

Killer Sudoku (aka sum doku) is where it's at.  It's like a regular soduku puzzle with the normal nine 3x3 blocks, but overlaid on that there are also irregular blocks with a given sum total.

Since numbers can't repeat, some irregular blocks are easy to solve.  For example, a 2x1 block with a sum of 3 has to have a 1 and a 2; there are no other options.  Same with a 2x1 block with a sum of 17.  Can't be anything but an 8 and a 9.  From there, you just apply normal sudoku logic to figure out where exactly those numbers are.

I recommend Killer Sudoku from Cracking the Cryptic.  Highly.  Also Sudoku Killer from Konstructors.

I can't even enjoy mobile word games anymore. They're all just so annoying.

Have you looked at the "YAR" app?

Saw a Youtube that followed a chicken as it crossed the road. They panned out to show the bird's destination appeared to be a cannabis store. Makes sense, I've done worse.
