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!

- W=6,Z=9,V=5(32D must have a 5)
- 31D must be 34789
- to avoid non unique solution 32D must be 45689 (instead of 35789)
- 32D,31D,17D solve
- study 26D for a bit and it must be 23678
- done!

Orphans are actually not necessary:

Fill in W,Z,V.

Now crossed 9's in 31D and 32D let you fill in 17D.

Now you know that L/M=3/4 in some order and that U is 3 or 4, so C+F+K+O is at most 23, so T is at least 3, so T/U=3/4. This leaves E as the only place to put the 3 in More...

Mark + 1. LEAS4U nada means no orphans or possibilities. Using orphans is not nada.

me: I have a personal rule that I'm never allowed to make use of the non-unique thing, so your solution wouldn't have worked for me. But of course it's fine if we all have different personal rules!
