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!

Looks very easy w/ orphans. Here is outline for a 'no orphans' approach (would like feedback if I missed something even simpler). Anyone want details for any of these high level steps?

A. 23D: Sum of 6 cells = 23 must ALWAYS have 4 and exactly two >= 5. No more than three chains More...

Took absolutely forever w/out orphans. Great puzzle if you have an hour to kill.

Did it quickly with no orphans. A lot of quads, especially in the last two rows, made it fall into place easily. Really good puzzle.

Wasn't that easy for me. Didn't feel like spending big time so used orphans. Then easy.

what a beautiful creature it is, definitely it needed some thoughts but solvable w/o orphans. however had to use a 'saved game' option several times.
