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!

great puzzle, no orphans and no possibilities needed, but I think it needs a little eureka moment to start off with ...

Joe, it solves normally too, the 'euraka' solve, exaggerated of course, is 6D=312 in that order because 321

'Eureka' was about 7 minutes in for me.

Used Possibilities

Chris + 2, although, like Linda, my eureka moment was at the end not the beginning. Chris, have you run all the possibilities in the 'illegal' quad to prove it yields more than one solution? I know this debate has been held before but I have never taken the time to prove the theory.

Chris +1. The euraka moment(s) for me was seeing the 5 quads then the 6 quads

Paul, just checked, yes it works. Whichever way round the 16D and 17D come out (there are two possibilities)
79
98

or
98
79

the two remaining columns, the 37D and 38D will be able to have any one of 57 pair or 58 pair, so they will fit the rest of those columns however the 79 and 89 are done

No orphans or possibilities, good puzzle

Chris, I can't get the 79
98
configuration to work. Because B and E are both 57 Q and T are both forced to be 8s.

Actually neither one works because 8s are forced in one of 31A or 30A.

... also, there won't be room for 2 6s in 37D & 38D if the bottom 2 rows are 15789 and 25789 when 3D=321
