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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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 had to resort to a couple of extended logic chain eliminations. Didn't like it very much.

This was a perfect example of a fortuitous mistake. I got interupted filling in possibilities, and did not include 1,2 as possibilities for H. It was then straight forward, but towards the end I realized my mistake, but was too lazy to start over.

Since puzzle was relatively easy if H > 2 (fortunate mistake from before), I finally went back and tried H = 1,2. No matter what E is, G = 3 and this leads to a contradiction without too much trouble, but I needed to fill in a lot of boxes first. Anyone with an easier solution?

Me too, UrBuddie! Forgot to set the timer, so I don't know what my time was, maybe about 15 minutes.

difficult, but G=3 by elimination.
I=1,5 and whatever the value of I, the orphans=7.
24D then unfolds and all falls into place
