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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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!
No possibilities or orphans, but I tried a chain, which solved it.

Nada. Don, after six obvious cells, there's a play between the remaining 89 pair in 39A and the 78-56 balancing pair in 23A. Easy after that.

Aspie, I did look at the 56 78 and 89 pairs, but didn't see anything. that would be a chain, wouldn't it ?

big John, well yes, you could work it out on a IF THEN ELSE short chain basis. Or, since balanced cross pairs often give keys, I just 'recognise' them as patterns; this is a horizontal balance crossing pair where some of the verticals won't work.
8xx9
7xx6 not possible,

8xx9
8xx5 not possible, solves 39A. Complex variant of a cross.
