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!

I was wondering the same thing Chris.

er, yes, well .... I have this idea it was to do with narrowing the possibilities for 27A but can't see it anymore. prob wishful thinking.

Needed quads. Nice puzzle.

Used quads and still struggled until I realized 33D had to have a 9 then solved easily.

yup, it was all about 27A.

ok, here goes .... consider 27A (NOPQ)

if Q=6789, that forces the 4 in 34A and 13D (cell O=345), which forces P=6789 and 33D=12xxxx.

if O=6789, that forces either 33D=12xxxx, or locates the 4 in 34A and 13D=345 and 31D breaks.

But, either O or More...

Paul +1. Exactly.

I sort of remember thinking that (yesterday), Paul

With possibilities you can see that of the 6 cells O,P,Q,R,S,T (the rectangle at the left of 27A and 34A) must have at least 4 cells with 6 or greater. Since 13D and 31D can only have 1 of those cells 6 or greater then the two for 33D must both be 6+. A fair amount of work after that but it all settles out.
