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

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!
I'm probably being stupid but this seems to me to be provably unsolvable. The orphans add to 25. Three of them are clearly 7,8,9 so the remaining orphan (in square B) is 1. This puts a 2 in the 31 across, which in turn requires a 5 in the 31 across --- but there's no place to put that 5. What am I missing?

On the other hand, I just solved it. So I must have miscounted the orphans --- but I *still* keep getting 25. Anyway, this is obviously my problem, not the puzzle's.

DUH! Okay, I *am* an idiot. The three 7,8,9 orphans don't all have to be different. I wish there were a way to delete these comments.
