World's Shortest Skyscraper
(Published on 10. September 2024, 07:00 by Jreg)
Creation of this puzzle explained below the image!
Standard Sudoku rules: place the digits 1-6 once in every row, column and box without repeats.
Sandwich rules: a clue outside the grid gives the sum of digits placed between 1 and 6 in the clue's row/column.
Skyscraper rules: a clue outside the grid gives the sum of digits that can be seen from the clue's perspective in its row/column. Higher digits obstruct the view, i.e. lower digits placed anywhere behind higher digits do not contribute to the skyscraper sum in that direction.
All clues in this puzzle are simultaneously sandwich clues AND skyscraper clues.

If you like this premise, I also made a BIGGER and WAY MORE DIFFICULT puzzle using this ruleset! CLICK HERE to check out "World's Tallest Sandwich"!
As I was saying, I have an older puzzle with this ruleset. It's called "World's Tallest Sandwich" and it came out a couple of weeks ago. I had worked on it for even more weeks beforehand, and while I am usually not one to give myself praise, I do think it is my most intricate puzzle creation to date. I had a thought to make a smaller, introductory version of the puzzle to help people wrap their heads around the double-clue ruleset.
