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!

I had to use orphans and trial and error.Box X in 21 across only has 2 choices.I chose the right one and went all the way

Stuck. Had to solve it by John's method, but I guessed wrong on the value of X the first time.

Wow! I never have an easier time than all of you, but this one basically filled in itself. Not sure what I did differently. Must have mad a fortunate mistake.

ah ha! got it!

in 35D, C and T >= 4
from that, in 21D, B and S != 6
therefore X = 6

and with a bit of logical effort it then all falls into place

over 20 but a few chains

Chris, B is easily seen to not equal 6, but didn't you have to do the elimination of 6 from S with a mental chain in 32A since (45689=32)?
