Rank Up: a series by ThePedallingPianist and bellal exploring the full rank constraint within 5x5 grids...
SEE ALL PUZZLES
Somedoku: Within the main grid (inside the thick border), fill every cell with a digit from 1-5 such that, for each N, row N and column N contain N distinct digits. Rows are labelled from top (1) to bottom (5), and columns from left (1) to right (5).
Inequality: An inequality sign points at the lower of two values.
Full Rank: A value in an external cell represents the rank of the number formed by reading the digits in that row or column from that direction, where (1) is the lowest such row or column and (20) is the highest.
N.B. If two ranks are tied, the value in both external cells is the lower of the two ranks being shared. For example, if the lowest four ranks are "12453", "13524", "13524" and "15432", the values in the relevant external cells would be (1), (2), (2) and (4) respectively.

Interesting puzzle. Weird and different logic due to the somedoku, but interesting. The minimal clues are impressive.

Puzzle changed slightly to restore a nice logical step!
