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!
Straightforward; no orphans needed.

agree no orphans, but it took quite a bit of thought (maybe because I failed to find an easy way), actually a lot of thought, so, although logical and doable without orphans, very difficult for me anyway.

Mike, what did you find?

To Mike. Unless you can show the sequence in which you completed that puzzle,I will have to say that people from Fleurance are more modest than the ones from L.A.

Canadian John, modesty has nothing to do with it. There are two things you must see to make this a pretty easy puzzle with no orphans. Anyone who doesn't want to know should stop reading now. The basic solution is as follows: Start with 35A; you can fill in six numbers and find that S&T = 6 or More...

Errata: In the last four lines of the foregoing explanation, the references to 29A should have said 29D. Sorry.

Mike, besides 29D, it's obvious what (C and) EFG are! proofread, please.

I got it on my 1st guess (9 in the top row), but didn't restart the timer from 6:01

also, I took 29D= 5 1 678 678 68 to the end before realizing I didn't have a unique solution - how do you rule that out??

Used orphans. Found Mike's analysis concerning 4 in 29D was flawed.

an absolutely fascinating puzzle
I am starting to think that only the IL guys Karl & UrBuddie can be relied on for expert analysis! (I'm not always dead-on)

Too tough for me, even with orphans, 2023.
