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

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!
Possibilities, orphans, chains, mistake and restart.

Joe + 1. Fairly easy with p and o. Lots of crosses and elimination work.

1) Fill in orphans, leftmost 24D, and leftmost 6D.

2) Look at 8 central squares FGKLOPTU. These are all at most 5, with at most one 5 and one 2. So one column is 1234 and one is 1345. These add to 23.
Therefore A+B+Y+Z=21+24-23=22. Therefore C+X=19+13-22=10. But C not 9, and X More...

Oops...meant to label the above as 'Solution with orphans but no possibilities'. I sure wish there were a way to edit these comments.
