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!

Hint, assuming 6 cells found: if A=2 there's a 2's X in 16A and 19A which takes all the 2's out of 22D. Not altogether simple from there, but that was my start key.

+o approach (but not until step 4)
1. solve 30A and 7A
2. neither A=2 nor C=2 (problem with 2s in 16A and 19A), so solve 3D, 5A, and 4A.
3. noted 2x (same as Chris)
4. using orphans:
a) 19A contains a 5
b) 30A contains either 7698 or 8697. One of them causes problems with 5s in 21D and 22D.
c) Solve 5 in 21D, then rest of puzzle is easy.

John, I meant to say mental chains. Brain must've been fried after the puzzle.
