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

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!

Ah, now I see how to do it faster:


1) Fill in leftmore 17A.

2) Count 1's and 2's: Across there are seven, with a possible eighth in F. Down there are eight, with a possible ninth in C. Thus there exactly eight, with one in F and none in C. Fill in C. Note that More...

good nada

Oddly enough, I managed the nada with some different tactics. Key for me was probably exclusion of a possibility for 27D due to the following: what happens to the leftmost 4 of 21A and 22A if M and S are both 5+?

21A,22A need six of 4567
11D,18D can provide only one of 45, 7D gives one 4 so 35D,26D must provide four of 4567.
However 35D is organised, W=9, giving a 2X
So, 6A=24, locates the 5 in 22A and solves.

Willo & Aspie's hints too much for me, so used orphans and a short uniqueness proof.
