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!

Chris+1, took me quite a bit of time. My first big break was isolating the 7 in 33A.

Easy enough without orphans.

7:30 - no orphans but a correct guess (the 6 in 21D)

I can't see the logic to do this w/o orphans or a guess. Anyone willing to explain?

Shabbir + 1. I'm sure it could be solved w/o orphans but too lazy today.

Ken, take a look at the conformations for the various placings of the 56's. These always give rise to a 4's cross in NOST. Then 24D is not the 7 solution so F=7.

Now take a look at the bottom three rows and the cross they give with 21D and 24D. there must be one 1 only. Which gives a 1's cross with 13A, and thus solves part of 6A. Easy then on ....

Thanks, Chris. I'll study this one some more when I have time. Don't see it immediately.

Tricky but nada. Solve J. Note that 9A must have a 5 or 6 to prevent uniqueness. Prove that 24D cannot have 567 combo, thus solving 10D.
The 4s in 21D & 24D must be in 10A & 15A, hence the lower 5D is 23 combo.
Mental chain putting 3 in I leads to shortage of 1s at the bottom, so I must = 4 and then solution is easy.
