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 needed the orphans and found this one quite a struggle but managed in the end

Chris, and also John from Canada, see my note on yesterday's Hard for the non-orphan solution to it.

I doubt it can be done without using orphans.

Mike from LA, thanks. I got the solution yesterday and read yours (which I think was pretty much how I solved it), still think it was a hard hard though ;-)

I usually do these puzzles by writing the possibilities or for the easy ones just remembering them.I have no idea what A'B'C or d or any other letter means.I can only figure that it's probably mapping the puzzle a little like playing chess.If someone explains ,It should help me solve puzzles easier

John: Each of these puzzles has 26 boxes. As a shorthand reference to squares, we start with the top left box as A and 'number' them alphabetically from left to right across each row, so the bottom right box is Z. References like 39A means the row that totals 39 across the puzzle, and 27D means More...

I came back to this and was able to do without orphans but it was extremely difficult unless I missed something. Slarti - any hints for straightforward?
