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!

Absolutely brutal. Loved it. Maybe best puzzle yet with the quads.

Glad I read comments after entering possibilities and getting stuck. Never been able to do quads. Off to ATK.

Still don't get orphans - don't the 4 spaces have to add to the diff between down and across clues?

quad orphans? what´s the deal with those?
free kakuro puzzles | online kakuro puzzles
No orphans, but I did use one chain to eliminate the 2 from M... which simplifies 22D and leads to a rather basic finish. Frankly doing the chain was much easier than figuring out quad orphans! I have never bothered trying to figure out quads before - can someone offer insight?

Took an educated guess on where the 8 goes in the 29 down and solved it handily.

Great puzzle! In this case the quad orphans tell us that the down orphans must add up to 9 more than the across orphans, which reduces possibilities and helps to solve the puzzle. Hope that helps.

Yes, thanks Angelo.

The orphans helped quite a bit with eliminations but at the end I had to resort to trial and error.

fairly easy using quad orphans - almost didn't even need to use 'possibilities'
