Crypto Skyscraper Sudoku
(Published on 20. January 2020, 05:55 by Phistomefel)
The usual sudoku rules apply. When you imagine the digits as skyscrapers with according height, the clues on the side indicate, how many skyscrapers one can see from this direction (smaller buildings are covered by larger ones).
The numbers 1 to 9 in the clues were encoded with the letters A to I. Different letters represent different numbers. If there is a letter in the upper left corner of a cell, this cell contains the encrypted number.
The comparison symbols between the cells indicate which of the two cells contains the larger digit.
The puzzle is also available online via Penpa Plus. Have fun solving!
Solution code: 3rd row, 4th row
