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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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!
so far, my preference is +o-p approach (unless I missed something for nada)

Easy with possibilities and orphans.

brilliant Joe! I think only one mental chain is required (and I don't mind it being called nada, although I know there is differing opinions on that).

I interpret a nada puzzle as solving w/o orphans and w/o checking 'This number is a possibility' (ideally the first time through).

+o-p 4:46. Had enough of mental chains yesterday. Pretty simple with orphans alone.

18D easy
7 + 8 in 21A easy.
9 + 8 in 26A easy.
No 7 in 26A according to the two top rows and therefor no 2.
No 3 in 26A according to 21A and 36D and therefor no 6.
Therefor the last two in 26A is 4 + 5.
No 7 in 20A according to the two top rows. therefor 20A must be 9 + 6 + 5.
Easy from here.
Finally I have beaten all the regular clever solvers. Thankyou very much.
