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!
29:33, including guessing right the first time, then going back to eliminate all other possibilities, then redoing it with the right guess (having forgotten how).

Great puzzle. Took orphans, mental chains for elimination, and 18 minutes.

Joe + 2, but way more than 18 minutes. Trial and error.

Quite tough. 18D, 26D and 17D list all possibilities and make quite a few eliminations (there can't be a 34 solution in any of them because then there's a five-way unique solution failure 56789 in the 38 and 39D pair.

Now, whether X=3 or 5, 26A can't contain a 4 and must then be the 5678 More...

Great puzzle. Orphans but no chains. Concentrated on possible combinations in 18A, then used arrangement of 6s to make eliminations in 17A. Then everything fell out.

About 8 minutes with orphans. Spoilers ahead. 12/25/13.


Solve 10-down and 13 down. Looking at remaining unfilled squares, there are 3 acrosses which must have a 9 and 3 maybes, and 4 downs which must have a 9 and no maybes. Same with 8s, and with 7s it's 2 acrosses which must have a 7 More...

After orphans, top & bottom row must have a 3 or a 4 each, which makes 26A = 5678. From there on it is a game of crosses, blocks of 7s & 8s makes a 9s cross that solves top 18A & rest of puzzle. Seriously fun to do, best yet, 2019
