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!

I can't manage this one without possibilities, but it possible working from the top down, and filling in occasional possibilities going along - partial possibilities ;-)

on reaching the bottom there's work to be done though, needed possibilities for that.

the elimination ladder was fun.

I confess I couldn't find eliminations from analyzing the various combos for 36D and 39D, which were obviously the key to this puzzle. 36D had to have a 7 so I ran a mental chain which went on forever and showed promise and it worked. Not very scientific. Tough puzzle for me. Interesting mix of birds.

By the way I calculated the oprhans but didn't find them much help.

Paul, potential reasons?
A!=9 because illegal quad unique rule
15A!=69 because illgal triplet unique rule.
13A=49 unique rule and illegal quadruplet
etc etc
