City of Skyscrapers
(Published on 5. November 2023, 14:45 by Kitty Trouble)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9, once each, into every row, column, and box. Digits in killer cages cannot repeat. Each killer cage represents a skyscraper with a height equal to its sum. Digits outside cages do not have any skyscrapers. Clues outside the grid indicate how many skyscrapers it can see from that direction. For example, if there are 5 killer cages in a row or column, and their sums are 4, 10, 10, 13, and 5, leading away from a skyscraper clue, the skyscraper clue's value would be 3.

Great puzzle! The principle of the break-in was not so hard to spot, but finding a good way to pencil mark was a challenge!
