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!

Well done, Chris. I needed possibilities and whole lot of time.

Possibilities and orphan

Orphans and a chain. Can't find a way without orphans. Is it possible that, when you don't use possibilities, you don't see all the possibilities? If I assume 18A is 84321 (which is common), I can solve it, but I can't prove that configuration for 18A.

Mike +1, at least so far.

Very easy with possibilities. Should have been able to do without, but couldn't!

Mike + 2. Really amounts to a guess. Not satisfying. Oh well.

Chris +2, no nothings

Ok. Obviously we're missing something...can those that did it easily try and identify what you would consider the key bit of logic that solved this one easily. Thanks!

hey mike, a good guess always comes from good experiences, so good job! but when you place 976 in 39 column, eventually there is no other combo than 84 suited in 18 raw and i found their places using possibilities indeed! so answering your question, not using possibilities needs a lots of brain chains that may befuddle one's mind or missing the others!

8 and 9 place at top of 39D and 6 at bottom of 21D, that solves 39D and the 56 at the bottom of 21D with the rest of the bottom of the puzzle being 12 pairs. There are three obvious 34 pairs in the upper right middle, and finish from there. doesn't need poosibilities.

I think it is prob the 6 at bottom of 21D that is hard. the 6 can't be in the 22A because there's already a 9 and B=6789.

er, I am wondering why I decided 14A!=38xx .......did I jump too fast .....?
free kakuro puzzles | online kakuro puzzles
Chris, I was gonna ask how you eliminated the 3+8 from 14A! Thanks for reviewing the puzzle again and responding.
free kakuro puzzles | online kakuro puzzles
ok, I remember now ....
if 18A is not the 8 solution, then it has to have 5's which then cross with 15A, and also by unique can't be 45's and then something from there, its giving me a headache though.
