How to Play Puzzle Series Vol. 8: Nankuro
Quick start
Read the first help steps, choose a normal board and inspect repeated numbers. Establish one reliable kana and test it in crossing words before trying certification or a variety board.

Choose numbered cells and enter kana through the DS puzzle interface. Follow the current entry and correction prompts. Check repeated-number consistency, and read the special rules or time limit before changing modes.
Puzzle Series Vol. 8: Nankuro — About this game
Nankuro replaces ordinary crossword definitions with numbered cells that stand for kana. Deduce a word from the pattern and keep the number-to-character relationship consistent across the board. Start with the step-by-step help and a normal puzzle before trying timed certification. Variety questions change the starting information, with no-hint boards and layouts without black squares. Use a secure short word to test a repeated number, then check its effect elsewhere. These are Japanese word deductions rather than Sudoku sums, so recognising possible word shapes matters.
