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.

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!
I like these sorts of puzzle that need a bit of work, no need for orphans

Actually quite easy once I discovered that there is only one possible combination for 26D... Once you factor in 7D, 15A and 3A are the only means by which 26D will have anything less than 4. And 16A requires that the 26D combination include 7 or 9. So, only one combination for 26D, and everything else falls into place.

orphans are the squares which are only part of a down or only part of an across.

In this puzzle, the bottom square of 7D and the top square of 18D are the orphans.

The strategy of using orphans is not needed in this puzzle, but the strategy works by adding the value of More...
