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!

Difficult without orphans: after solving most of the easy stuff, I!=6 else triple unique rule failure in 33A and 34A. 27A must contain a 9. One of MQ must be 8. One of WX must be 6. One of TX must be 7. L=9 in all variations of K. D!=7, unique rule. B=8 in all variations.

pretty tough

No orphans. No chains. I thought it was straightforward. Pure logic/eliminations. The easy and the medium were tougher for me today.

After reading all the comments I concluded that I must have made a lucky mistake and left out a candidate or something like that so I redid the puzzle. This time I had to pick one of two possibilities for a chain and it solved again. Still no orphans.
