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!
nada (admittedly it took me a while to find)

nada, finding was easy, compressing the logic not so easy ...
Aspie logic: 21D top two must have one only 5or6
39D bottom two is same (one 5or6). 15A/16A need a second 5or6.
pattern: triangle 4A and orphan 21D - if 9D has 5or6 then 4D=13 and orphan 21D can't be 1 and the remaining 5or6 at same time. 9D=234 then easy

possibilities and orphans

Used possibilities and orphans, then tried a chain which solved it.

nada approach
1. Identified two crosses in top 2 rows, then E>=3.
2. 3x3 'cross' solved top 2 rows, then rest of puzzle.

TRAIL AND ERROR.

more details on nada (3x3 'cross' was a big help)
1. 5D can't be 23 (+u), so 1x in top 2 rows (solve 8A) and 2x in top 2 rows.
2. 3 rows (4A, 15A, 16A) must contain 3 in 3 columns (9D, 21D, 4D)
3. BE is 85 or 94 (solve top two rows starting with 5D and identify 4x in bottom 2 rows).
