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.

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!

Though I used orphans, they're not necessary. After filling in the near-obvious, you know there are at most three 4's in the acrosses (10,16 and maybe 22) and three 4's in the downs (21,14 and 21). Thus there are exactly three 4's, so 5 down is 2/3 and 22 across has a 4. This is enough to get you through to the end.

In the above I meant to say 'at least three 4's in the downs', not 'three 4's in the downs'. It then follows that there are exactly three...
