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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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!

nada, but by stretching the meaning of the word

Chris, I thought about qualifying my nada comment, but decided to see what others said. It will be interesting to compare our approaches (I'll post mine later)

fun puzzle without orphans
I bailed on the nada fairly early
(read comments before starting which is rare for me) - like my possibilities !

thought it was an easy nada

my nada approach:
1. 45 pair in 3rd column, so solve its 321.
2. Solve 16D.
3. identify 789 trio in 33D, then 456 trio in 39A.
4. T>=7, so solve 13A, 39A, 13D, and 29D
5. '+o-p approach' involving only 7 cells:
a) 2nd column: D+J=15
b) 4th column: L+P=16
c) 6th column: H+M+R=18
d) after sum of rows, M=Sum of columns - Sum of rows

Don: Doesn't step 5d mean orphans?
Then not nada = nothing.

Ross, I agree it's similar to the normal orphan approach. With my approach, the other orphan (N) was not in my equations. In other words, it's simpler than a normal +o-p

(kind of tough) nada with a mental chain to eliminate 6/8 from 15D
