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!

Ended up having to use some long chains. Didn't see a logic-only solution.

Used two chains

HINT: stop reading now. fill out all possibilities, use orphans and solve the top 17D.
the bottom two in 27D cant be 89 (unique rule), so the 3rd from bottom must be 56. So the adjacent cell in 12A can't be 56 and you get some eliminations in 21D.
Intersection 25A/27D can't contain More...

Chris please help. What is the unique rule? I dont understand why you rule out 89 for the bottom 2 in 27D

Hard work, needed orphans. Good puzzle.

Em, because it would give the combination

89 89
89 89

with the adjacent 17D

this can resolve to either
8 9
9 8
or
9 8
8 9

ie two possible solutions, which is not allowed
