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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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!
See my logic on 11/19/13 hard. Thanksgiving holiday finally allowed me to catch up on last 3 weeks of kakuro.

No orphans. Elimination of 9 is the key.

easy with orphans

No orphans necessary. [Hint: Use 5s, then 6s, in 26A and 37A.] Neat interplay.

Joe, 14A=86 because of 5 cross. 15A=78 because of 6 cross. Find the 57 pair in the left 35D. By tracking show the left half 37A has a 9, therefore Z=9 and 17A=179 etc.

Easy without orphans. Didn't attempt without possibilities.

Chris, what did you mean by 'By tracking show the left half 37A has a 9'?

After Chris' initial hints, my strategy was that if S < 8, then ILMORS would be non-unique.

Don, there's a chain of 89's to track (after the 57 pair is found, I think)

No orphans. Used the 5 and 6 crosses but still took some thought. Good puzzle.

Thanks to Chris' last hint, I proved that the left half of 37A had a 9, regardless where 9 in TU is.
