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

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!
Can anybody tell me where the term 'orphans', in relation to Kakuro, originated from?

Very straightforward puzzle today - if unsure, look first at the 2x 18A. This will give you the 2x 17D, from which you can work out the 26A and the 21A.

Orphans are completely redundant here, but to answer Susie's question, perhaps they could more accurately be called 'widows' - the idea seems to be that an 'orphan' is on its own, without both a down and an across to support it.
