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!

tried again -o
1. solved 7 with nada
2. eventually discovered high# cross in 25D/24D (how with nada?)
3. found +chains approach (what did I miss?)

nada ...
24D=123468 or 123567
if xxxx67 then 25D=xxxx89 impossible.
25D=123469 or 123478 or 123568
if xxxx68 the unique rule fail with 24D, hence 1234xx solution.
I think I might have made a false assumption here about the 1's

It was easy with just orphans. Didn't spend much time but didn't see the nada.

+o-p 10:30 A little over 7 minutes trying for nada and gave in to orphans.

yup, me. I decided the orphan 1's formed a cross with 10A, so that 8D=62, right answer, idiot reason.
