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!
difficult, can't find the logic and don't want to do trial and error, so stuck

Chris, when you say you got stuck, does that mean you tried orphans and still got stuck?

CharlesH - yes, stuck even with orphans

Also stuck with orphans and only logic,so I had to revert to trial and error with the boxes with the smallest amount of possibilities.It took still about 1 hour and a few misses

Took me 45 minutes to find a logical solution (with orphans), but it is quite clear when you see it. A difficult puzzle, but it feels very good to solve one of these.

BTW... No need for long chains, or 'what if I do this and this'-reasoning...

Very difficult for me. Did not have time to find the logic solution but my first 'what if' was correct.

Another difficult one, pretty subtle. A rewarding feeling to find the logic and work it out.

The key is the number of 8s that need to be in the columns vs. the number of rows that need 8s and those that could optionally have 8s. Then it comes out fairly easily.

(1st comment, but have been enjoying these for years)

Not too bad after using orphans and noticing the interplay of '8's
