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!

if Z<>7, then both A=7 & C=7, there4 Z=7
if 28D=4789, then there's no 7 in 35D, there4 5689
(4 couldn't go in 31A/28D anyway) because of 34D/31A
...

without orphans, there's a forced 5's cross 31A and 37A. Which means 28D is the 5679 combination. Then there's a complicated 7's cross which means intersection 34/37 can't be 7. easy then ...

Kudos to big John. Good catch Chris on the 'complicated 7's cross' involving 3 rows and 3 columns. Just one correction - 28D must be 5689.

12:25????
no orphans; I just did 1 elimination chain (28D)!

w/o orphans. several crosses did it.

nada in 2015 (including no elimination chains):
1. Solve 12A, 6D, and right 17A
2. Magic square of 5s in 35D and 28D, so 28D contains 5689 and solve 4 in 31A
3. 7s required in 3 rows (24A, 31A, and 37A) and 3 columns (24D, 35D, and 30D), so solve 7 in 34D
4. Solve 6s in applicable columns, then rest of puzzle.
