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!
Used Orphans

Possibilities, no orphans, but it takes time w/out orphans.

Though I would try to jump and steal poll position;
Don't worry though, next time I will do the puzzle first!

I must have had a different version. An easy nada for me, just a tad slower than the easy.

4:31, including counting the orphans which I never used.

I must have the hard version of this puzzle - orphans at 5:50 and haven't solved it yet at 18!

w/o orphans but with an educated guess; true logic solution seems to require orphans

Approx 15 mins

without orphans, key point to note is that 21D and 22D can't take both 4's away from 7A and lower 18A (else breaks).

then fairly easy to see 5D!=32 (although there are prob many alternative ways to proceed)

after than it all drops out easily

A guess.

Nada indeed with the help of comments. It is trivial to eliminate 32 from 5, then there is only one cell for 2 in the bottom 18A and rest falls
