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!
+p+o took a guess and got nowhere. Gave up.

Long chain to show M < 6, then OK (not the kind I like)

I must be having an unusually clear day. I found it quite easy with +p+o. No guessing. Nice flower.

Too difficult for me - gave up.

-o+p Got it be realizing, based on the structure of the puzzle, that Q & R are most likely 9. Not pure logic, but not just a guess either.

Possibility of 'S' is either 9 or 7, and used the possibilities.

approach with orphans:
1. Solve 17A and 13D.
2. If no 1 in 15A: 15A contains 2346, JMVY magic square of 6s, QP=76 (but can't solve 4A because neither 13D nor 28D can contain 3)
3. Solve E regardless whether 28D has a 4:
a) if 28D has a 4: 28D=514783
b) if 28D has no 4: 28D contains 123589, JNR contains 789, 9A=45, 15A=23415
4. Solve rest of puzzle.
