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!

Yes, very straightforward.

Easy today but often I cannot do the hard option. What is an orphan???

Sue, in today's puzzle the cells C and X are orphans. C=middle cell of 20Across, X=middle cell of 35Across.

They both appear only in a horizontal row and not a vertical one. So, if you add all the horizontal rows and all the vertical rows, the difference between them will be the sum of the orphans (in this case 11). Often this info helps solve a puzzle.

The problem is that using orphans sometimes makes the puzzle too easy. That's why people try to solve it without them.
