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!

Easy with possibilities and orphans.

nada with an asterisk per some opinions. I got several bottom half cells with nada and figured out the highest values in top two rows. After that, I could use a so-called 'mental chain' for cell D, then solve rest with nada.

Chris, I am curious what me and Boka missed?

tried again: can't remember what I did, but here goes.
I get with nada ..
31D=897xx4
21D=xxx4x2
if 23A is the 59xx6 (xx=12 pair) solution then there's a 1's cross in 14A and 23A giving unresolvable clash. B wants to be 3 because of unique rule and D wants to be 3 because of 1's cross.
Is that a chain-ending or a nada?

Thanks Chris, good approach. You and I started the same way to solve 10A and partially solve 31D and 21D.

I call yours and mine on this puzzle a 'mental chain', some don't differentiate chains in this way. Personally, I don't argue with you calling it nada.
