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!

SPOILER ALERT:

Simple eliminations:
V=5, Q=9, J=9 (orphans), E=7, D=4

UrBuddie, great proof. You almost lost me a little in limiting L from the 35 down possibilities. 35 down could be 345689, with 4 in T and 5 in L. 5 in L allows 7 in K. You need an additional step to eliminate the 7 in K, which you can do since O must be >= 7.
It also took me an extra step More...

X=5 jumps out at me cuz you get >=15 with 24A if X>5
the 123459 / 123468 with 29A is clever - haven't used that before and may be too groggy to think of the 2 possibilities now - 3:13 a.m.
