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!

isn't a 'logical chance' a chain / guess??

I may have used that try after eliminating the 3 from 33A

is it possible that chains are groups of numbers whereas guesses is just one number at a time?

Yoman +1. Orphans didn't seem to help; needed a chain.

focus on where 7's must fall in vertical columns help; then same drill for 6's. Used orphans but not sure they were needed. To me, a chain and a guess are the same. Even when a guess is just as to one sqaure, that is followed by logical eliminations, which is a chain. A chain is simply an More...

Like Plum, worked on the 9, ...two times before the solution.

Got it again. Whichever way the orphans fall, the lower 15D has to be upper 7, lower 8.

Then, also whichever way the orphans fall, the lower of 17D = 9. All pans out from there on.
