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!
Used orphans and a small chain

To Joe from New york,There cannot be any 7's in 21 when it has 6 cells.Tried again and still used orphans which seems to be the only way to start and still a guess to decide where the 4 goes in 21 across.

Hard puzzle. No orphans: eliminate 4s first from 39A, then from 21A.

I think Joe meant trying both 4's left in 21A if necessary and then working on placing the 7's

no orphans (I don't know what they are and can't use them, think they'd be useful!), 7:21, only the 2nd hard I've ever completed so feeling quite pleased with myself.

Used orphans and small mental chain (i.e., if U=6, then J=5; also S=7 and M=5, which would be two 5s in 21A). Once you know U != 6, then solution falls out.
