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!
seemed difficult
1. some clues w/o orphans, but nothing filled in.
2. Even with orphans, still needed a chain to solve.

tough one.
6x and can place both 6’s
36D!=345789, which gives 3x in top two rows
unique rule places 4 in 13D, 16D has to use either a 4 or 5, which takes all 45 out of top two of 27D. which is enough to eliminate S=4, so X=5 and solves.
which could be called a nada.

Aspire: Does your != mean “not equal to”? One of the toughest puzzles ever.

Possibilities, orphans and a chain.

took a educated guess on the placement of the ones in 10a and 15a then pretty worked its way to end

after orphans 6x and 3x, you can start processing possibilities and eliminate 5 from G (G!=5) - it leads to not enough 1's. Solves after that.

+p-o, great puzzle w/out orphans

Nada. Nice puzzle. Once you see the problem with the 1's in the first two rows, 27D has only one possible solution.

2:57 with orphans

With orphans:

1) Fill in 13D, 17D.

2) No 6 in I (else can't make 16D), so crossed 6's in 27D, 36D. C/H = either 4/2 or 1/5.

3) Somehow convinced myself I had ruled out 4/2 and it was pretty easy from there. But I no longer remember why I thought I could rule out 4/2 and was probably fooling myself. So unless it comes back to me, I retract my claim of 2:57.

Thank you Aspie, I saw the 3x with orphans, but hadn't spotted the 4/5 interplay at the top.
