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!

Nada. Interesting comment yesterday from the Martian. Nada is a function of the puzzle not the solver. I would have thought the opposite. That's like saying the patient was a survivor but unfortunately he died because the doctor screwed up. Achieving nada I think goes to the skill of the puzzler, not the puzzle.

Actually the word he used was property not function.

Paul from Canada, you must think a chess position is won or lost depending on who is analysing it.

Aspie, I have trouble with that analogy. Chess is a game involving opponents. The rules are the same for both players and the better tactician usually wins.

Paul from Canada. I didn’t write chess game, I wote chess position. Strong chess players, grandmasters are able to broadly assess whether a position is won, drawn, lost, unclear, whatever. Computer programs will give a numerical evaluation that is usually reliabl nowadays. Oh, and chess is not More...

Aspie: I largely agree with you, but not entirely. If completing the puzzle requires envisioning a chain of length 3, and if Alice is capable of keeping that chain in her head while Bob has to write it down (or enter it into the grid), then I'm inclined to say the puzzle is a nada for Alice but not for Bob, even though both find the same solution.

Interesting discussion. willo, you make a point about solvers' varying capacities to determine and mentally retain 'possibilities' and chains instead of needing them visibly notated. An analogy for me is multi-digit multiplication or long division which some people can learn to do without all the More...

Paul, I understood that you meant that you considered your first (incorrect) efforts at solving the puzzle to be akin to placing possibilities, so your solution wasn't 'solved nada' or without possibilities or orphans or trial chains with visual numbers vs mental chains. It's intriguing to realize More...

Aspie-my comment two up (post #19) contains a question for you that is hidden after my screen's blue 'More...' cutoff. If it doesn't show on your screen either, please click the 'More...' to see my entire comment and my question to you. Thank you.

Plum: I absolutely agree with you that any puzzle with a unique solution must be a nada if you're smart enough. (This might not apply if we allowed infinitely large grids! But as long as the grid is finite, a hypothetical smart-enough person can mentally try all 9^26 possible solutions and rule More...
