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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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 bogged down in the middle for a little, but overrall it was a good puzzle. There was an elimination that I didn't see for a minute or two.

Fun puzzle but not too hard. If you start with the orphans, everything falls into place.

8:23 Seemed quite straightforward, but that's because I chose the right elimination first.

I don't understand what 'orphans' are.

CharlesH, for good explanations of 'orphans' go to the archives and look at the Hard puzzles for Feb 7/07 and/or Apr 19/07. There are good explanations in the comments there.

Was able to solve without orphans by noting interactions of cells where 21A & 22A intersected with 19D, 18D, and two 12Ds.

Easy nada. Fill in top 2 rows.
21A & 22A have four of 5,6,7 (two 5s) - and the only way to get them all in is to have 56 in 12D on the right.
