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!
Solved with a lot of help...
yesterday JL, JoshB, Marie and Chris posted about 'orphans' but I don't understand the explanation... and how could one find 13 and another just 2 of them... :( can you please explain it better?

I shall try, using today's puzzle as an example. The orphan squares are those covered by only one row or one column. In this case, there are two, the 4th in 21 down and the 3rd in More...

Lelia, in other words: Orphan fileds 'squares' are those where columns and rows do NOT cross NOR meet!
