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!

-o: not quite nada for me (can be for those who mentally eliminate one possibility in a key column)

Fairly easy with possibilities and orphans.

Nada but very tough (at least for me).

my shot at nada ...
A=9
wherever the 5 is in 11D, D=7 and U=5
4 and 6 solved in 16A
11D must have X=5 and W=4, fill in a few easy squares ... and it all falls out.

the main struggle was to find D=7.

using Chris' approach to solve 7:
if K=5: JNS=645, W>=7 (MZ contains neither 5 nor 7)
if X=5: NW contains 46, ST=51, J=7 (MZ contains neither 5 nor 7)

for me, a short chain proves that incorrect 5 in 11D makes U=5 impossible.

P but no o. Maybe I got lucky with my chain.

Start with one posibility. Driven to the solution.

22:50 - even baby huntsmans are hairy, and tend to be more brown (at least in QLD). Think this is a different species.
