Between the 'Scrapers v2
(Published on 22. March 2021, 16:02 by LKegel)
The successor to BetSandwichween, which got featured on Cracking the Cryptic!
Normal sudoku rules apply. Furthermore:
- Digits on a line lie strictly between the digits on its endpoints. If part of a line is thickened, the digits on that part form a nondecreasing sequence in the direction of the arrow (e.g: 2, 3, 4, ... or 2, 2, 5, ...);
- Normal skyscraper rules apply. Clues outside the grid are skyscraper clues, i.e. every digit n represents a skyscraper of height n. Taller skyscrapers block shorter ones behind them from view. The numbers outside the grid denote the number of buildings seen from that direction in the row/column.
