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!

nada, or nada +s for Schroedinger.
because of orphans, but not by orphans.
after the first six obvious ones ...
orphan B links to orphan Y via 89 pairs. If Y=34 then you can’t fix orphan B to any discrete value, Shroedinger orphans not allowed.
So Y=12, and 15A makes a 3x with one 3 More...

Used orphans.

I struggled for a minute, then realized that either both 7A and 6A (right) had a 2 or neither did. And since there needed to be at least one more 2 that meant both.

Don +1. The Aspie method is cool, but I don't yet understand it.

Nada, but I struggled too.

Straightforward with orphans. Understand the link between orphans that Aspie mentions but don't get the discrete value part.
Aspie - Can you check your write up because your explanation is based on Y = 1or2, when orphan calc indicates 2or3. Could it be that it just needs to exclude 4?
