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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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!
This one started like it was going to be very easy. I got B,C,F,G,M,S,V,W, but then got stuck and had to do some extended logic for eliminations.
Did I miss something?

Nothing tricky. I think the key is the 1's.
29A can't have any, two of DENO must be 1's, and then straightforward to show Y=1.

Thanks Slarti. I don't know why, but I had missed the fact that the 8down had to contain a 1.

I thought it was straightforward. Immediately you see that W = 7 and S < 9 = 8, so M = 9. Then you see that HIJKL are all <7, so the only solution for HIJKLM = 29 is 965432. Since H < 5 and J < 5, it's not hard to place those numbers, and the rest just fall into place.

Sorry. I meant H 6.

One more time. H < 6. I can think but I can't type.

but A,D=1 implies P=1, Start. I took that chain to the last square before coming up short!

but H=5, not H<5, Mike

I shoulda read all the comments for your correction, Mike. Sorry

It's really counting the 4s that solves it - after +p +o and checking the 1s as noted above.
