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.

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!
After placing the G,J,L and all the possibilities, I got stuck. I finally ran an extended chain elimination. After that it was easy.

Did I miss something?

I did have to use a little extended logic.

Spoiler alert!

I was able to tell that the key square is K. If K=8 then P=2 which means N=7. N can't =7 because O and Q must total 16.

Sorry, I thought that the extra space would hide the spoiler info unless you click the little 'more' tag. Sorry if I ruined the puzzle for anyone.

UrBuddie - also had X at start - then I used logic I could do in my head **** soln alert ********




find N or S is 7 (then easy). If not, NS = 56-> U = 1 then C has to be 1 and 3 so N or S = 7.

Steve - How did you solve X? I get 5,6,7 but I don't see how to narrow it down from there with extended logic or guessing.

Thanks.

UrBuddie - Looks like I goofed (one of those fotuitous mistakes) I somehow left out 8 as a possibility for F.

11:55 I looked at it from the point of view that either C or E must be 1. One worked, the other didn't.
