Empire State of Mind (Numbered Rooms Skyscraper)
(Published on 12. May 2023, 09:00 by tallcat)
For me, a lot of fun in combining variants is to have them play off each other in different ways. For this puzzle, I took it a step further to see how combining the constraints more directly would work. I chose skyscrapers and numbered rooms - as I considered them 'middle of the road' constraints in terms of likeability within the puzzle community - and I have to say, I was surprised how well they worked together. Happy solving!
Normal sudoku rules apply
Clues outside the grid are both Numbered Room and Skyscraper
Numbered Room: Clues indicate the digit to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction where N is digit in the first cell in that direction
Skyscraper: Clues 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
Kropki pairs: Cells joined by a white dot must be consecutive. Not all dots are given
Can be played online at f-puzzles or Sudokupad
