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!

No orphans, just a chain to eliminate the 5 from U, which sets of 9 quads. This along with the two 7 quads solves it.

me: I was ahead of you on eliminating the 5 from U, but I don't understand the rest of your post. What do you mean by 'sets up 9 quads'?

After eliminating 5 from U no more chains required.

Yuck. Got it but needed a few chains.

I really struggled with this one

I'm with willo. I see neither 9 or 7 quads.

33A and 16A (squares IJLM) are the first 7 quads I noticed. RSWX are the second 7 quads. Eliminating 5 from U eliminates 9 from Z and sets up 9 quads in squares STXY.

Then quad 9's (ACFH) and 8's(AEFJ) appear in the top two rows.
