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 - how shall we nickname my approach (tentatively 'compare rows vs. columns count')?

Woo-hoo. Got it. Nada. Count 89's. Consider the central sixteen symmetrical square ...

Sum of 89's in 35A 28A 32A within square = 5
Sum of 89's in 32D 28D 35D within same square can only be 5 if X=7.

Solves completely then -p -o

1. Count 89's across: at least 8, two each in 4 rows
2. Count 89's down: at least 6, two columns must have 2 (32D and 35D), one must have 1 (15D), another column must have 1 or 2 (28D), and another column may More...

Nada. Another approach, the key is on the 10 and where to place the 6 on 21
