How to play Kakuro
Kakuro is similar to both sudoku and traditional crossword games.
Like a Crossword
Similar to crosswords, Kakuro has clues both across and down. When you put numbers in the vacant squares, the sum must equal the given clues. This is why the game is sometimes called 'cross sums'.
Like a Sudoku
Just like a sudoku, you cannot have the same number in a row or column. If a row is broken into 2 areas by a clue, then you can have the same number occuring once in each of the separate areas.
Other variations
Still looking for more puzzles? How about a variation on sudoku? Try Wordoku. Wordoku uses letters instead of numbers and has a hidden 9-letter word! For crossword puzzles, try Free Crossword PUzzles. 2 free crosswords (Easy, Hard) daily.

Talk about anything and everything, but nice to each other - you don't have to agree, but this is not the place for personal attacks. As Sir Paul McCartney said: 'I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird' (longer explanation). Enjoy!

tried again, best I could do was most of LHS then a short chain based on clashes between 32D and 11D

Had to try a chain which did not work then tried another one which worked.We have to try to solve 32 down on which there are 2 possibilities.

Logical puzzle. No chains needed. Takes a bit of thought and made a good puzzle.

Chris, did you mean RHS?? I got a lot more of the right side filled in.
I think square O, where 25D and 20A meet, is pivotal.
I agree that it was a good puzzle, but am not sure (yet) how to solve without a short chain. I'll try your tip, I.
It seemed like eliminating 6 from I was the last logical step for me - I did it in my head, tho this time thru took me over 23!

Not too bad. Fill out all possibilities, then notice that A != 2 (otherwise, there are two cells in second row that would have to be 3). Easy from there.

(no possibilities or chains):
1) Fill in 8D, 17D, 14A
2) Regardless of B, E must be 6, which also gives G.
3) Now O is at most 4 (else overshoot 20A)
4) So C+F+O is at most 9 and at least 8, whence O=4, F=3.
5) Fill in 16A, 7A, I, N, 20A, etc etc.
