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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
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!
difficult, with no cells found, I figured its impossible, but then discovered it is provable that O=4 and then that S=9 after which it all gradually falls into place. good puzzle

You can find all of 37D given O=4, then it's easy

Actually, I looked at 34 across - only L could be less than 5 so L = 4 was my start - and the rest was pretty straight forward - after then noticing J,N = 6 or 8.

I solved it the same way as Steve, but it took a lot a reasoning to get there. Good puzzle.

S must be either 7 or 9, but no matter which it is, I can only be 7. The rest is just a matter of working it out.

I've started using the strategy that if I want to use a chain & a number can only go in 2 places, I try the square with the most candidates thus having fewer candidates if I happen to guess right(ly?).
Wish I had set the timer.
