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 don't get it. I think a chain is 10D, 35D, 24D. What is an orphan???

an orphan is a number that goes into a single box will no tally...ie the third box in 18 across or 'c' to calculate the orphan, just simply subtract all the horizontal tallies from the vertical tallies or vice versa.

I think it can be done without orphans. Boxes I and O cannot be 9. Therefore, either J or P must be 9 and either K or Q must be 9. This makes F an 8.

Clueless about 'orphans' and 'chain'.

Guess I will get to know of it with time here.

Was an easy one, nevertheless

very good, Terry
At 1st I thought that there didn't have to be a 9 in 34A, but redid the math. It seems necessary to look at 9s before other numbers (I seemed to have been obsessed with 7s).
I went back and checked your assertion that I,O<>9 - doesn't that take a lot of memory with the More...
