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!

No orphans, 1 chain to decide where the 8 went in 37D. Interesting that the 1,3,7 combo is the only one that will work for 11D (1,2,7 option would create unresolvable with the 1,2 in 3D).

Very easy without orphans. Eliminations in 11A did the trick for me.

Per Angelo's comment, I looked at 11A again and was able to eliminate the 1,5,9 solution for 15D and then it was straightforward to the finish.

straightforward. orphans.

No orphans. I picked the 8 in 37D and it was logic from there. Interesting the different ways people see the same thing. I knew there had to be a 2 in the bottom two rows of 24D. That's what triggered the 7,1,3 combo in 11D for me. Of course the recognition of the unique solution solve by 'me' is another way to see it.

No orphans or chains. My final breakthrough was that there had to be a four in either S or X.

No orphans, based on a requirement for asymmetry in the lower two rows.
