Franklin Electronic Publishers today announced the launch of their 'Kakuro' electronic handheld in time for Fathers Day

Franklin Kakuro includes a built-in timer, three skill levels and over one million games

Due in August and retailing at just $69.95, the Franklin handheld will be offered with a bonus electronic 'Sudoku' game

Also known as 'Cross Sums' or 'Kakro' in Japan, the game of 'Kakuro' is this year’s new puzzle phenomenon
The game first appeared in the UK late in 2005 and is now in nearly every metropolitan newspaper in that country

“Kakuro and Sudoku are logic and numbers alternatives to crosswords - ideal ways to exercise your brain
Medical journals are now touting brain exercises as a way to keep minds sharp to minimise the effects of ageing” commented Russell Goldberg, Managing Director of Franklin Electronic Publishers (Australia) P/L

Franklin provides fun and engaging ways to exercise your mind
Whether you’re into the latest craze of 'Kakuro', 'Sudoku', crosswords or word games, Franklin has a product to stimulate your "downtime”

“Our readers ... often refer to our puzzles as brain food
As surprising as it may be, scientists around the world are also advocating the humble crossword as a way of exercising the mind and in so doing, extending the average person’s lifespan
The medical benefits of puzzles are astounding, but don’t just take our word for it - hear what the experts themselves have to say here” stated Christine Lovatt, Founder of Lovatts Crosswords and Puzzles
“Kakuro is potentially our fastest growing puzzle” she added

In Japan, where the puzzle is called 'Kakro', its popularity is immense, second only to Sudoku'

The Guardian in Britain began printing the puzzle under the name 'Kakuro' in September 2005 - since then many other British papers have followed suit and now also print daily puzzles
