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!

10A=91 and D=2
21D and 39D must contain a 4x and a 5x. 38A can supply one 5, 12A can supply one of 45, so 39A and 33A must supply two of 45.

If X=3 then only one of 45 is available from 39A.
So, X!=3, I=3 and it falls out ...

nada solution a bit more detailed:
10A=91 and D=2
21D and 39D must contain a 4x and a 5x.

so, where do the 4455's come from?
not 32A because that is 26789
not 10A because that is known 91
38A can supply at most one 5
12A can supply at most one 4

*IF* 33A=36789 More...

Aspie: Did you prove 12D contains 4 or 5 or assume it? You need to eliminate the possibility of 9+3, which requires a significant chain.

Nada. Thanks to Aspie for getting me counting and placing 4s and 5s.

Slartibartfast, 10D is 91 (so 12A can't be 93 - must be 84 or 75)

Slarti,12D=45, 78 concept was dependent on the IF 33A was the 36789 solution.

3 in the bottom row not only knocks out 45 from the bottom row, but forces a 45 on the edge of the next row. this sets up the 45 shortage.
