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!
good puzzle, quite difficult until seeing that

Chris, I am not sure how you solved it, because your clue is inconsistent with 16A.
I solved it using logic, and without orphans, but I cannot now retrace how I did it.

Straightforward logic solution with orphans.

Kakuroaddict, sorry, my text was ambiguous maybe. I did not mean that T=79 and Y=79 (agreed that would be inconsistent 16A).

What I meant was ..... there either has to by a 7 in the TY pair, or there has to be a 9 in the TY pair.

Reason being that 34A and 35A both have to have a 79 in More...

Chris, I tried to follow your solution, but got stuck with how you eliminated the 8 from cell O in 24D. I eliminated the 7s in 39D due to 7s having to be in cells IM or JL.

Managed to solve cells B, G and K before I needed the orphans.

Susie, the 24D 8 can't be in cell O, it must be in either R or W else there's a unallowed dual solution between RW and SX.
If O=8, then cells RSWX could then be either
79
97

or
97
79

which isn't allowed by the unique solution rule

I'm not going to brag and say I did it with logic,because I did not see any logical start.But V had 2 choices,a 6 and a 4 and choosing a 4 would lead me to having to try my chance on the next move,I chose a 6 which filled up all the bottom puzzle.Then J also had 2 choices,a 6 and 8.I tried an 8 and did not get far,so went for the 6 and that finished the puzzle.

7/2/13 - with orphans, simple to fill in possibilities and then note which columns must have a 7 or may have a 7 vs. rows. Leads to a solution fairly easily at that point.

I normally prefer Orphans over unique rule, but Chris's was so elegant I went with it, nice. 2018
