Sudoku Variants Series (467) - Second start skyscrapers
(Published on 15. May 2026, 06:00 by Richard)
For this Sudoku Variants Project I have planned to publish a unique Sudoku variant every week.
Second start skyscrapers
Inspiration for this type comes from bigger.
Solve online in Sudokupad.
I will see how long it takes before I am running out of ideas.
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Each digit in the grid represents a skyscraper of that height.
Clues outside the grid indicate the number of visible buildings from that direction, starting from the second cell. Higher buildings block the view of lower buildings.
Solution code: Column 9

I always struggle with skyscrapers and not being able to check if im doing a good job is a challenge in itself so it was very hard for me but i had so much fun doing it, thank you.
Great puzzle!

Made a mistake had to restart because I struggle to find my mistakes on my own. I know you have asked Sudokupad to make a answer check version in the past so I assume you have deliberately stopped entering the answer. I would have given up sad if I hadn't solved it on the second try.

Thank you very much for creating and sharing another lovely SVS-puzzle. This special rules are quite confusing (easy to make mistakes) but I think that was the intention?

It is like the border skyscrapers are made of 1-way glass!
