Ginnels & Snickets (Between Skyscraper)

(Published on 29. September 2022, 19:22 by tallcat)

Skyscrapers are a sudoku constraint that have always intrigued me but i've often found challenging to solve. Given that, it was only a matter of time before I set a puzzle with them. Combining with my old favorite Between Lines was helpful in getting me started, but also in producing some neat logic (with a little sting in the tail). Happy solving!

Normal sudoku rules apply

Between Lines: Cells along lines between two filled circles must have values between those in the circles.

Skyscrapers: Clues outside the grid indicate how many numbers are "seen" looking into the grid along the row/column. Numbers are visible only when larger than all numbers that appear before it along the line of sight.



Can be played online at f-puzzles or CTC

Solution code: Row 4 (left to right) followed by column 5 (top to bottom). 18 digits, no spaces.

Stunning break-in. The rest was hard work for me, but well worth it.
