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!

10:11, largely because I resisted using possibilities for quite a while.

Does not need orphans. There are only two options on the 21 and 34 down, for the 4, if you choose correct place for the 4 the puzzle is solved

I agree Luca but what you describe is a trial and error solution, which I used and was lucky enough to get right the first time.

13:54 - trial and error for me.

my -o approach (could be nada)

1. 46 pair in 21D, solve 13A
2. Solve 12D to avoid non-unique with 20D
3. Seems easy to eliminate Y=3 (can't solve bottom two rows). So 37D contains 256789
4. Solve 1 in 21D. Regardless of 1 in top row, solve 4 in 34A.
5. Either I=6 or J=6. Seems easy to eliminate.
