It isn’t. You can use the solving aids to work out what’s wrong, or check the instructions to find out the rules if you’re not sure. Did you know you can’t repeat a digit within any individual answer?

I took a look at your save file. You have 6976 as one of the entries, whcih is invalid. If you check "Show repeated digits" this is highlighted in red.

Of course it shows red but my solution is also correct. This kakuro has 2 solutions.

Solution Assistant does not approve the second good solution and therefore marks it in red.

The red means it is breaking the rules. If you are confused by the rules then you can find full instructions by clicking “Instructions”.
The puzzle only has one solution. Of course you could fill every square with a 9 and pretend it’s correct, but it still would be marked incorrect by the site. Because it would be wrong.

Yes, I have 6976 but 6985 and my 6976 gives the same result which is 28.

And it is the same with the rest of my numbers, they all give the correct result. This puzzle has two solutions.

The puzzle has one solution.
As I have explained above, and as the instructions and guides make clear, you cannot repeat a digit in an answer. That is simply the rules of Kakuro, just as you can't repeat a digit in a Sudoku region.
If you make up your own rules, of course you can write whatever you want into the grid. That's fine and entirely up to you, but it doesn't mean that the puzzle itself has two solutions.
The puzzlemix website will mark the puzzle as incorrect if you have not solved it according to the rules of that puzzle type.

I didn't break the kakuro rules. I didn't repeat a digit in an answer. All the numbers I entered into the grids are correct..

I checked again and you are right I repeated the number 6. I'm sorry and thank you for your help.
