Skyscrapers Light
Sudoku hits the streets in Skyscrapers Light, another installment of the Conceptis Light series. In this logic puzzle, the numbers on the outside of the grid tell you how many "buildings" are visible from that side of the grid, if each number inside the grid represented a building of that height. Are you streetwise enough to rebuild the city?

Tips and Tricks
-
For a grid with a size of n, if n buildings are visible from one viewpoint clue, that row can be filled in from 1-n, because all of the buildings must be seen from the viewpoint.
-
If only 1 building is visible from one side of a row, the highest number (n must be placed in the square closest to the viewpoint clue, because all of the smaller buildings must be hidden behind the largest building.
-
Generally, when solving Skyscrapers puzzles, you'll be filling in the highest numbers first in order to satisfy the viewpoint clues, then filling in the smaller numbers later using deduction. Don't fret over 1s and 2s until later in the puzzle, as their positions will become more obvious as you fill in the higher numbers.
-
Don't be afraid to use good old-fashioned trial and error! If you want to see where a guess plays out, click on the smaller box in each square to pencil numbers into place before you commit.
