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

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!
starts easy, gets tricky, didn't find a solution (yet)

Quite easy with orphans (no possibilities). Now back to try without....

willo +1 (+o-p for me)

I think my -o approach is different than KS's:
1. Pre-chains: -p to solve 1st 10 cells
2. 2 chains:
a) if MI=85: 11A=38, 16D=7162 (but can't solve 30D).
b) if MI=86: 11A=29, 7x in JKST, 16D=5371 (but can't solve 30D)
3. Rest of puzzle is easy.

found KS' approach, -o+r (Z)
1. 10 initial cells: Solve 45 in 39D, 18D, 17A, and 10D.
2. Regardless of Z, solve 3 low 30D cells and 2 low 16D:
a) if Z=7: AW is 12 pair, NOX=312, WA=12
b) if Z=8: M=7, JFS=897, 16D=5182, NW=31
