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!

Takes some thinking, but no orphans. We saw a variation on this a few days ago. In both the bottom two rows, and separately in the top two rows, the interaction between possibilities for 17D and 15D allows the exclusion of other possibilities that leads to eventual simplification and solution.

Orphans made it relatively straightforward. Not difficult, but interesting.

2015 - without orphans. Key is the 89 situation. 32D cannot contain an 8 or a 9 (either together or singly) in either of the top two or bottom two rows). It is easy to show for 89 together, fairly easy for a single 9 or a single 8. Key is that the two centre rows must have a 1 in the 21D column, More...
