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!
Took me forever, but finally nailed it

Slightly chainy hint: the 5 in the 15D can't be in 32A
nor can the 4, else it destroys 38D

the remaining 23 forces a 1 into the 10A intersection in all variations

Chris I agree that 5 in the 15D can't be in 32A
but 4 can be there. Had to use a small chain to finish

Not too bad. No real chains needed. The key to the solution seems to be 15D. As indicated by others, U (the bottommost cell of 15D) cannot be 5, so P=5 (and so Q != 7). Now, either C or U must be 3. And, U != 4, since if it were then C = 3 and there'd be no 7 in 38D (which there must be). From here, solution is straightforward.

Agree, the solution is 15D cross 10A

T is the bottom cell of 15D, Karl!
wow, it took me a long time to see how you eliminated the 4 from T - hopefully I'll learn the principle (nice work)

Not really all that hard, actually.

I struggled with trial and error with this one. The 45 elimination in 32A wasn't obvious to me so I tried them and, of course, they failed.

I agree w/yoman. brutal, but doable

Put in the possibiities, did the eliminations - et voila! Nothing complicated....

After eliminations and only 8 solved cells, O or Q must be an 8, and S or U must be an 8, therefore Y must be a 9. Straightforward from there.
