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!

Yuch - I'm stuck. I've got all the possibilites set and I've placed the 6,7,8,9 in the 39, And I figured out the possible values for the orphan, but now I'm stuck. Any clues?

This is the kind I like. I had to use all 'clues' to eliminate possibilities, but no 'guessing' required.

4:52 UrBuddie - I got stuck for a little while around the 31 in the top row, the eliminations on that took a while. Everything came out easily after that. The way I did it, that determined where the 6 in the 21 column had to go.

Hi Don,
At stage 2 why can 31A not be 97654, which means 2c is not proven?
I gave up at this stage though :-(
