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!

15:00!! Went down a lot of wrong paths. A beautiful picture, though, after all that.

tough one. Had to use the quad-orphans, plus an extended chain elimination.

even with using quad orphans, I correctly guessed N (14D/24A)

orphans not needed. the square HINO must add to either 18 or 19. Can this be done without using the 7's? No, because resulting 56 pair and 34 pair breaks 14D.

That reduces 26A to two possible conformations 123479 and 123578.

17D says: either no 5's or a 5's cross. No 5's breaks 21D. The 5's cross solves 14D, then straightforward ...

Good puzzle

Chris, I followed most of your hints. How did you prove 'square HINO must add to either 18 or 19'?

Thanks Chris! (copied from his 12/8/13 hard comments):
* illegal rules confines 21D cross with the two six liners to 25 or 35 pair
* which gives total of right eight cells to within one
* which, by subtraction, gives the four left cells to within one
