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

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!
Nada, but very difficult for me.

Solve 4A noting 1s,2s placements.
Then a big part of solving is about availability and placement of 5s,6s in the two 35As and crosses of numbers. I had a big write up of solution … but will post a couple of starters.
Example… allocation of 5s,6s in the two 35A’s leaves none available for More...

Continue on my solution.. 7x cross with right 24D and left 25D forces left 24D to be 6189 or 6198. So solves 2 of the 3As on the right. Also, you have 8x cross 25D and left 24D. The two 3A solutions and 8x cross forces solution to 17D to be 5912 and then left 24D solves, 25D solves, right 24D solves and 20A finishes it.

1B. The remaining 6 slots in the two 35As More...
