Kakuro Puzzles

easy enough but had to use the orphans

same as Chris.

We start with 30A in the last row filled in. After a bit of work, the logic of 12D and 13D demonstrates that B can be neither 7 nor 8.

Now look at J, which must be either 8 or 9. If J=8, then G=1 and R=1, which is not possible.

QED, no orphans needed.

Easy... No orphans needed

Looking at 22D, 29A and 30A, you can fill in Y and A immediately. Looking at the lower 15A, 14D and 13D come out straight away. L falls into place next and you should have a manageable set of possibilities everywhere.

It then becomes evident that 33D includes 1,2,6,7,8,9. This solves 12D and the leftmost 13D. From here, everything just falls into place

Looks exciting!

Thanks kakuroaddict. I persevered and learned a new technique with this one, working out what was not possible for M. No orphans needed!

5:21 - a mistake threw me off.

Thanks for hints, I will persevere more next time!

925 good puzzle

No orphans. Reduced to point where 7 cells solved, then observed that cell N is restricted by unique solution requirement on pairs GH & ST.

Used orphans instead of unique rule, not seeing some of the steps other people have, 2018
