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!
This just took a few hours - that's good for me!

Difficult indeed. The trick is first to exclude two of the three possibilities for K, and then to demonstrate that 5 is not possible for T.

Not hard with orphans only:

Fill in 16D. Orphans determine 17D.

Now {O,S,T,W,X} contains two 4's and two 5's; one in O and at most one in {W,X}, so {S,T}={4,5} so V=6 and fill in 14D. Now only one place for 6 in 21D, so fill in 28A, then 16D, 39A, then orphans, then H....
