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!
Made a mistake on the 35D, I read it as 38.
Had to start again.

Finally broke down and used possibilities. It is possible w/out them, but would require more brain power than I was willing to use this morning.

Haven't given up in a loooong time, but gave up on this one. Calculated orphans but they didn't eliminate anything for me. Tried all combinations of orphans and must have made a mistake because I tried the correct combination as per the solution but it didn't work. Anyway, couldn't find the handle.

Went back and ran the right orphans again and it solved but still trial and error for me. Not satisfying.

yuk, tough one. with orphans it is possible to show H=6, then it all unravels easily

Orphans and a lot of work. Solved it by placing the 1 in 21D. Whether it was logic or a chain is debatable.
