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!
Interesting. Filling in possibilities, looking at 17D in particular, led to a lot of eliminations.
But needed the orphans, then it all filled in easily.

Fairly easy with just orphans. Couldn't get to nada either. I started with 17D as well.

With the orphans, I believe this should have taken well under five minutes.

Here is the nada!:

1) {P,V}={4,5}. Therefore F is at most 3, so H is at least 4, as is X. Thus {H,X}={4,5}, so R is at most 7 (and at least 6), so {O,Q}={8,9}.

2) Using observations from 1), only place for 5 in 35D is K.

3) D at least 6, so J at most 2.

4) Using More...

Nada, simple answer is isolate L, but there are a few steps before that

Not using orphans or possibilities does not make a Nada.

I got the nada on this one but I put it down at least 3 times and came back to work on it - so I don't have timing, but it took me a long time

nada agree with Willo.
if -o and -p are not sufficient conditions for nada, what is the required condition.

nada = not o & not p & condition Z. wot is condition Z? if Z = not guessing, then agree, else not.

Anne, I suggest you stop timing yourself. The satisfaction is the solution not the race. I have never timed myself simply because there are interruptions and I don't really care about the time anyway. Cheers!

Filling in possibilities, but no orphans, led to almost all cells being either 89 or 67 pairs. Then L is solvable & the rest fall like dominoes. However keeping all those pairs in your head needs a better brain than mine.
