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!
solved more than half w/ nada. lazily used orphans to solve the rest

Same as Don, but I used possibilities instead of orphans to solve the top. It’s definitely a nada puzzle for those willing to put in the time.

Nada. Longish mental chain to finish top.

A philosophical question: If you get all but the top two rows as nada, then note that the missing squares add up to 5 more horizontally than vertically to fill in the 5 in E (making it easy to finish), have you or have you not 'used orphans'?

I don't think you've used orphans willo. You just used your powers of deduction to isolate the value of a square which just happens to be an orphan.

Paul: But I am counting empty squares horizontally and then vertically and then taking the difference. When I use orphans traditionally, I start with **all** the squares empty. In this case, I start with two rows of squares empty. Where do we draw the line? Is it using orphans if I start with, say, all but two squares empty? All but three? All but four?

I think its ok to count. It’s only possible because you know more than at puzzle start, namely the top four of 39D, 21D
