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.

Choose a number, and place it in the grid above.

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!

try again .......
J!=3 because creates illegal 124 triplets in 21 and 23D
D!=5 short chain (if it is 23D=xxxx76 and 21D fails)
23D = 123467
C!=5 short chain in head
then plain sailing

try again .......

J!=3

there must be a 4 somewhere in quad HIKL
OP contains a 4 also, so eliminate all other 4's in 21D and 23D

there has to be a 4 in 10D, so 10D=514 or 541, and 26A is now solved and the whole puzzle now unfolds

10:56 even with the correct guess (6 in 2nd cell of 16A

I found this fairly easy. Solve 17D, then look at all possibilities that must be 1-4 vs. those that must be >4. E must be >4, which means C is 4 or less and the top 4 digits of 21D are 1-4. Put the 5 & 6 into 21D and the rest is fairly simple.
