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!
This stopped being fun.

Looked at the comments from 10 years ago. A couple found it a great challenge, after a tough slog. The rest didn't enjoy it.
Think I'll find something else to do. :)

Solved with a lot of work, some backtracking. 10 years ago I 'took a flyer' and said it was 'not satisfying'. It's still not.

It’s not that excruciating, with +p

First prove that V=4 by disproving 56789. All of which can be quite easily shown impossible.

Bit more explanation ….
Solve 14A, 16D
18D=12357 or 12456, possibles are 67, 35, 12, 12, 45
Add possibilities for both 10A
V=4689, concentrate on 21D
V!=9 (F)
V!=8 (F=3 and 1x breaks)
V!=6 (12 pairs break unique rule or FYO reason)
V=4, F=78, 17D solves etc etc
