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!

tried again, eventually it is possible to show that 35D, 28D and 23D each contain a 39 combo. From that it's a slow struggle but doable logically

good puzzle. took time and orphans

Orphans and a chain - 7:24 - Definitely one of the tougher ones.

Needed orphans but no chains. Key seemed to be eliminating the 4s and 5s in 35D

Orphans. Chains. Trial and error. Mostly error. Took me forever.

With orphans, but no chain or guess needed. Key is to find limited values of X and Y and to realize where the 9's have to be.

No orphans, agree with Mike (LA)

starting over after over 17 minutes - not sure I'm on a 'solid branch' or where it started!

8:27 with orphans and 1 failed chain

3:55 with orphans, no chain

Orphans, but no chain necessary. Trick is to see that both 15A rows must have 3 in the 35D and 28D columns; a three in 35D will mean that there must also have to be a 6 . . . .

good analysis, as usual, Karl
I had to try it out to be convinced - did you do it in your head or did something similar come up somewhere else?
