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!
Easyish, nice anyway

Char, orphans are cells which are only summed up horizontally or vertically, but not both. In this problem. the last cell of 6D and the first cell of the second 13D are orphans. You can total up all the vertical sums and subtract from this the total of all the horizontal sums, to see what the orphans sum up to. In this case: 118 - 116 = 2; which makes the value of these orphans obvious.

I didn't find it all that easy. Picked a combo after calculating orphans and it came together.

Char, orphans are squares that are part of an A or a D but not both. In this case the bottom square of 6D and the top square of 13D are orphans. Find the total of all the As and Ds and the More...
