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!

Beautiful little puzzle. Used orphans. Then trick was to look at 7s (across 3 columns). This leads to some eliminations, but more importantly, tells you something about 28A.

Used orphans. The 8's seemed key to me - eliminated some possibilities by thinking about where to distribute the 8's so they were present in every combination that required one. Then did the same with the 9's.

as usual, Karl, you've provided excellent analysis.
I took about as much time as Joe, but probably let the timer run while reading the comments

I got stuck and stayed stuck. Read Karl's analysis but couldn't figure it through. Picked the matching orphans and it solved but not satisfying. I'd love to read a more detailed discussion of the distribution of 7s/8s.

Paul, I'll give it a shot (I lliked this puzzle despite having to use orphans)

Columns 39D, 29D and 39D all require a 7.
Where rows 31A, 28A and 26A intersect those three columns (i.e. BDE,JLM,NPQ) are the only places with 7's that can satisfy 39D, 29D and 39D. This implies that 28A has to have a 7 (4789), and that C, K and O can't be 7.

To clarify, in order to get to where my explanation starts, you have to look at orphans. They add to 16 so the only options for C and X are 789 which simplifies 31A and 33A.

Counted 8s and 9s combined to prove that both orphans had to be 8 or 9 (and since orphans = 16 only one solution). Then easy.

Straightforward with orphans, once I figured out where the 7s could be in 33A, 2019
