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!

how about 9+9 - 15 = 1+2 (or 2+1), Chris?!

Quad orphans are fun. The orphans are E, K, P & V. The vertical cells add to 101 and the horizontal cells add to 86. So the equation is:
K + P + 101 = E + V + 86. Simplifying:
K+P = E+V-15.
The max values of E & V are 9 & 8, respectively, which tells you what K & P have to be, because if they were any lower K and/or P would have negative values.

Big John, would be, except that one cell is max 8, so must be 89 minus 11

The orphans were an easy call with a difference of 15 and a max of two cells of 17. Anyway, easy after that.
