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!
after solving lower right corner, I relied on a guess that was right. I think it's possible to prove the 5 in 39D, but will look for comments from others.

likewise lower right, but can't find any way onwards

Even with orphans and chains, which I typically have to use anyhow, I'm stumped after the bottom right corner. Moving on.

'Solved' it making a guess for the numbers that appear in 35D, but can't seem to rule out other possibilities without more work than I care to devote.

Long, slow, trial & error. Lots of error.

short chain proves that 35D does not contain 5. Still looking if there is a short chain for one of the 9876 combos.

Finally did it. No guesses. No trial & error. So not worth it. Nothing but slow, agonizing chains to remove one possibility at a time. My vote for hardest ever.

Trying hard here ....
One possibility is, IF there's a 5's cross between 25D, 39D and 14A, 26A then the whole puzzle solves in easy mode.
But, proving the 5's X is not easy without massive chains (so far) ....
