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!
+c: first 3 cells pre-chain, then a unique chain (fairly short), then rest of puzzle was easy.

15A and 20A need a 5X, if 6D doesn't give the 5 then everything breaks. Then easy.

thanks Aspie, somehow I missed that 20A can't contain 6. Even if your approach is a 'mental chain' (eliminating 6D as 24 pair), it's shorter than my original chain.

nada, but took time

Actually, eliminating 6D as 24 pair can be done without a mental chain. My method just used arithmetic to show the last 3 entries in 21D sum to 11 or 12 (someone called this partial orphans): since 7 is not possible, 542 or 543 are the only choices, forcing the 1 in 8A to be in the 6D column, leaving a 2 cross to eliminate the 24 pair in 6D.

A mental chain.

Nada. Looked hard, turned out to be easy. Same method as Aspie.
