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!

Hi Mike, Mark and Jimmy - I left a comment to each of you on yesterday's hard kakuro. >>> Mark I would very much appreciate an explanation of 'the 9's cross' . . . given the number of people who claim a logical solution, I can only think I have a glaring hole in my own logic.

Hi Meredith - Thanks for the comment to yesterday's hard. You are correct. My logic was simply that the only places for a 5 in 39D were D & Z, and I could just 'feel' that 22A wasn't going to have a 5. Admittedly not logic, but if you do enough of these you begin to see patterns and get a good sense of what will work and what won't.

Meredith: I wasn't on your list of addressees but I did post a response on yesterday's page.

HA! Thank you Willo - a beautiful explanation. As you say, filling in the orphan makes 22A unique, and everything flows from there! Thanks much for taking the time to spell it out for me. I'll be better in tune in the future. And thanks Mike for your gentle encouragement ~ I am still More...

Meredith: Everyone plays by their own rules or course, but I for one would never consider the puzzle solved if I'd depended on 'just knowing' something. If I take a guess and it leads to a solution, I'm still not done until I go back and fill in all the other possible guesses and find ways to rule them out.

And I wish I could change 'or course' to 'of course' but there's no way to edit these comments.....

Meredith, I added a comment to yesterday’s puzzle which may help in following my logic.
