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!

agree, needs p

(Shabbir & Aspie) + 1
However, it is pretty close to a nada.

Boka plus one.

Gee, I must be having a moment of brilliance because I was nada. Key is obviously the 67 pairing in 35A. Ran a short mental chain to eliminate one.

I thought it was a relatively easy nada like Paul. The rest of you missed something and should give it another shot.

the +p just aids in the required mental chain(s) to eliminate and solve at the end.

22D, 9A, 15A, 4A all easy with nada.
I could just about concede 10A=28 by nada, but it would be pushing it. Then the rest solves by nada.

So, unless I missed something, nada is down to a subjective call on 10A

G=2 (thus 10A=28)is relatively straight forward. G=3 or 4 requires that C=7 - not possible.

I'm bored...
A=7, N=5 (can't go anywhere else in 22D)
W=4 (note that FJS=123 in part because IK=45 which comes from a study of 9A, 12D, 15A, 4A and 23D; note 27A is thus 4689)
M=3 (can't be 1 or 2 because of 34D)
S=3,T=1,K=5,I=4,E=8,F=1,J=2,L=1 (forced)
U=1,V=2,R=8,O=9,X=8 (forced - More...

+p. Could not do nada without false starts and retries, so it was not a nada.

U cannot be 2 because there is no place to put a 5 in 34D so LM can be calculated no problem and PQ are 67. It's a short calc not requiring p to find out which is which and it solves.

Straightforward with either a short mental chain, as me, or orphans at the end, 2021.
