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!
this seems to need orphans AND a chain, or am I missing something?

no orphans. 12A can have only one solution, everything follows smoothly from there. needed to fill in possibilities, though.

Didn't use orphans, but used a couple of chains to show that J=2 and E!=3 (which makes Q=2). Then it solved. Don't understand how Werner can make that jump from 12A.

oops...J=3.

Good puzzle. Used orphans and noticed that E could not be equal to 5 and that Q could not be equal to 4. From there, everything fell out.

Chris, Chris, Chris! No orphans, no chains, no filling in of possibilities.

No possibilities. Used a mental chain to run the J=3 and it solved. I don't see how Werner gets from 12A, which is an obvious combo, to a solution without mental trial. It doesn't automatically eliminate other possibilities.

Jesus does Kakuro? ;)

As to doing them without possibilities: a few weeks ago, my bellwether Chris said the puzzle was easy. I spent a few minutes on it, but couldn't solve it straightaway, and the day was too nice to sit at home. So I went out for a hike (google 86dave), and spent the next six hours solving it in my More...

No possibilities or chains, but I'm not sure whether my solution of 12A was pure logic or part intuition. I just knew where the 2's were placed and didn't question why.

this puzzle needs a chain, I insist ;-)

used orphans and what I consider a chain even though it seemed obvious
