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!
I used a chain that looked logical and the orphans were useless

straightforward once you do a little logic. No orphans, no chains.

Joe, I can't see how logic gets the job done - please explain.
(the 1st and 4th squares of 12A seemed like a sure thing, and I guessed right)

used a chain to eliminate the 3+4 possibility in 37D, then it all fell into place. no orphans.

4:43, and would have been faster if I hadn't believed for a while that 4+1=7. But given all the other comments, I suspect that maybe I made some unjustified guess somewhere, though I thought I'd covered all possibilities. Will revisit.

(Tried to submit comment twice before; third time's the charm.)

Nice puzzle. Solvable with orphans and logic.
After reducing possibilities, AMAP, saw E must be 3, 5, or 6. But E=3 implies B=5 implies Y=5. Impossible. And E=5 implies B=3 and N=4, so no 2 in 21D. Impossible. So, with E=6, everything is straightforward.

tried again but needed a chain

Took quite a while. Did same as 'me from here'. I thought the orphans helped with some eliminations.

Thought it was easy. No orphans. Key is seeing that 4 of the 6 boxes in 21D has a compelled letter, in comparision with the others.
