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!

Yoman, after solving 4 cells, look at interactions between 39D and 8D - this gives H=5

Now, if M=6 then 17A contains no 4's which would force two 4's into 16A. So M=7

Now look at the potential illegal triple in JKL, NOP. Forces I=1

Eliminate via the quad 3's in 22D and 10D and it all falls into place without need for orphans

Chris, didn't you mean 17A instead of 8D??

I wish I had seen your logic with M and the 4s in 16A. It would have saved me lots of time on eliminating 5 from J.

Or rather than the illegal in JKL & NOP, there have to be 3s in A&L or C&J making I=2 and K=2 ...

you did mention the quad 3s, but the illegal triple step could've been skipped
