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!

4:40, no orphans, no chains, but lots of thinking

orphans are the possibilities that you write in small type at the top of the square and chains are when you get one number and that leads to another number and another and so on.
This one was easy after I made a lucky guess and that led to the rest

orphans are the squares that aren't part of the sums in both directions; they 'hang out' from the rest of the squares

candidates are the tiny possible numbers you put in the squares. lots of times puzzles can be solved by narrowing down candidates in all the squares and their related sums
