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!

What a horrible puzzle! I got R solved and got stuck. I'm going to try back later.

I think this was the hardest puzzle I solved without guesses or logic chains (IE - never used the 'undo' button). It took over 25 minutes to slowly remove one possibility at a time, but it was satisfying to solve it.

This would be the definition of 'muddling' through. If anyone has any hints without involving guessing, that would be great.

Ur - I don't have time for a complete proof - but here are some highlights / hints. Start = R=6 (only easy # for me). Then noted K,Q = (1,2) and 36N row has a 4 or 5 (buut not both). P is not 4, but if any other is, Q=2 ==> P = 5 (><) so Q=1, K=2. I used over and over that A <> More...

My key was the 5's in the last 2 columns.
Briefly: the 5A, 6A, 3A all involve small numbers, so looked a good place to attack.
W<>5 due to a quick contradiction. Using this with I = one of 4,5,7 and M = 5 or 7, and the orphans at C (1 or 2) and X (4 or 5) leads to a contradiction if L More...
