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!

Logically this takes at least 4 long paths to contradictions to eliminate one possibility; including one complete puzzle except for one sum wrong. This also requires that you pick the right number to eliminate first!
No idea how you can do it in under 4 minutes without guessing and being lucky.

I agree with Slarti. I'm certainly not a champion at Kakuro, but I didn't see anywhere to get a foothold. I'm used to be convinced that there should be some way to solve these puzzles without guessing, but maybe that is the only way sometimes.

I guess we complained too much about easy ones - careful what you ask for. I did find one number with a single contradiction chain - I didn't think the number right under 27 could be < 5 27(1) in my notation, so I assumed it was 1,2,3 or4 and got a contradiction without much trouble. After More...

without orphans, really good puzzle.
the 34 in G and T are inverse to each other (by linking round via the two 4A's.
Following the same theme, it is possible to show that 10A = 24 13 13 24
and 21A = X 24 24 X

bit of a grind from then on, but doable
