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!

Maybe I missed something, but this seemed hard, even with orphans; had to do some trial and error.

Orphans are of no help until almost finished.had to try something twice.I was lucky,it worked.I cannot see much logic in that one.

Finally got it (pure logic, no chains), but this one was a bit too difficult to my taste.

Don, I didn't follow your logic all the way through but the elementary reminder of the possibilities for 18 in 5#s and the exclusivity of 3 and 6 was enough for me to solve with just logic. Thanks.
