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!

Really, REALLY liked this one. All logic, with interesting orphan interaction.

needed orphans, then quite easy

Found an interesting 'no guessing approach':
1. Orphans <> 5 due to 4s and 6s in 39D.
2. Fill in possibilities for 27D, then lower two rows (21D first).
3. Solve lower right corner.
4. Magic square solves a key cell, making the rest of the puzzle easy.

without orphans 15A!=276 solution because of unresolvable 12 situation in top rows

So L=9 and then fairly easy ....
