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!
stuck, can't find a logic way - needing trial and error

Chris, Not sure if its the easiest way, but after first 6 squares, I then showed D can't be 1 (logical thinking, but I did need to look forward a number of moves), then fairly easy to eliminate one of the possibilities for Q - then it falls into place

Yes, it fell into place with all those '89' pairs, but I needed the orphans to start them off.

Straightforward to get to the point that either L or Q has to be 6. One of those possibilities leads to a contradiction in its column, and the rest falls out.

I don't understand what D, L and Q stand for in the puzzle???

rj - there are always 26 cells, so they are named A-Z starting at top left cell (A) and scanning as you would read a book to bottom right cell (Z)

Good puzzle.

Thanks Steve I followed your solution. It seamed to be quite long trails to disprove each digit, but then fell into place.

a lucky guess

but doesn't the 1 in D mean a guess / chain?
I took it to almost then end, but maybe 34D presents a contradiction lot earlier.

on the redo from the saved position, both the middle columns break down if D=1
