Skyscraper Sudoku 8×8
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 obscure lower ones
Good luck!

Yea.
Thank you for the puzzle. I really enjoyed it.
I am getting better at these. What I do is write in the greater than notation when I isolate boxes and the puzzle also becomes a futoshiki. There wasn’t a time in solving where I felt stuck.
I also like the way you had to work in order to isolate 3 of the numbers throughout the puzzle.
