Consecutive Skyscraper puzzle
It’s been a while since I posted a new puzzle here, what with all the excitement about Sudoku Xtra magazine, so I thought I had better do something about that right now! So to that end, here’s something a little bit unusual – a Consecutive Skyscraper puzzle.
Now Consecutive Skyscraper may sound like a More >

Skyscraper Sudoku 8×8 puzzle
Continuing my series of 8×8 Skyscrapers and variants, here’s an 8×8 Sudoku with Skyscraper clues around the edge.
The rules are simple:
Place 1 to 8 in each row, column and 4×2 box
Obey the Skyscraper constraints: each number outside the grid reveals the number of ‘visible’ digits looking along that row/column, where higher digits More >

Consecutive Skyscraper 8×8 puzzle
Here’s a combination I haven’t posted before – a standard skyscraper puzzle with the addition of consecutive markers between adjacent squares. This allows the creation of an 8×8 puzzle without needing to also add Sudoku boxes.
The rules are as follows:
Place 1-8 in each row and column
Numbers outside the grid reveal the number More >

Skyscraper Shuriken Samurai Sudoku puzzle
I’m glad yesterday’s Shuriken Samurai went down well, so today I’ve upgraded it to a Skyscraper puzzle (following Christine’s request for more Skyscrapers!). This is, I think it’s fair to say, quite a bit harder than the basic Samurai yesterday was – but then any puzzle with a title this hard More >

Wrap-around Consecutive 3-grid 6×6 Samurai Skyscraper puzzle
Another mouthful of a puzzle name, but in essence simply a development of the previous puzzle I posted. This time we still have the wrap-around consecutive-ness, but I’ve extended it to a samurai puzzle and added in skyscraper clues. To keep it reasonable, I’ve reduced the underylying Sudoku size More >

Skyscraper Sudoku puzzle
It occurs to me that I didn’t get round to posting any ’straightforward’ Skyscraper Sudoku puzzles previously, so I thought I’d rectify that today. Attached is a regular 9×9 Sudoku with the addition of Skyscraper clues around the edge, and no other twists!
For the Skyscraper clues the numbers around the edge represent the More >

Skyscraper 7×7 puzzleSkyscraper 5×5 puzzle
It occurs to me that I haven’t yet posted a regular, vanilla Skyscraper puzzle, so I decided that today was the day to rectify that! The 5×5 puzzle attached is pretty easy – it can be solved in under a minute if you’re on your toes! The 7×7 is nowhere near More >

Samurai 5-grid Skyscraper puzzle
I thought I’d try one more Skyscraper Samurai Sudoku puzzle – this time a 5-grid variety, or what I think of as the ‘traditional’ Samurai Sudoku format (some people also call this Gattai-5, but I’ve not seen that in print anywhere).
The aim is to place 1 to 9 into each row, column More >

Skyscraper Jigsaw Samurai Sudoku puzzle
I’m pretty confident that you won’t have come across one of these puzzles before – I certainly haven’t! It’s a Samurai Skyscraper Sudoku puzzle with Jigsaw regions instead of regular 3×3 boxes.
The aim is to place 1 to 9 into each row and column of each of the two overlapping 9×9 More >

Skyscraper Consecutive Sudoku puzzle
Many of the best Sudoku variations can be combined with other variations in order to produce yet more types of puzzle. One variety I’ve personally never seen is to combine Skyscraper and Consecutive Sudoku together, so I thought I’d try it out today!
Skyscraper puzzles themselves are pleasant little puzzles where you must More >
