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!

No orphans. One logic chain.

No logic chains or even using possibilities - just solved for one number asfter another.

It got difficult after founding 12 cells, and I needed a small chain to complete the puzzle.

Same exerperience as Chris. Then a logicl guess solved it. Steve found a better analysis than I could.

Mike, my bad - I went and looked again - realized I made a fortuitous mistake the first time that found B was not 2 (but I was a column off) that 'mistake' made it seem easy.

Used orphans and one trial which was wrong then tried the other possibility and went all the way

No orphans needed, but there are two or three slightly tricky parts.

After using orphans and getting the 12 cells, I looked at 27A and 30A.

All possibilities for J and V rule out W=3. Making flow on eliminations shows that G=9. It all flows easily from there.
