Como jogar Skyscraper Sudoku
As pistas externas mostram quantos 'edifícios' são visíveis a partir dessa borda
As Regras
As regras padrão do Sudoku aplicam-se: preencher cada linha, coluna e caixa 3×3 com os dígitos 1–9, cada um aparecendo exatamente uma vez.
O Skyscraper Sudoku imagina cada dígito como um edifício dessa altura. As pistas fora da grelha indicam quantos edifícios consegue ver olhando dessa borda para dentro — um edifício mais alto bloqueia todos os edifícios mais baixos atrás dele. Uma pista de 1 significa que o primeiro edifício deve ser um 9. Uma pista de 9 significa que os edifícios estão dispostos em ordem estritamente crescente (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). Esta variante requer tanto lógica de Sudoku como raciocínio de permutação.

Perguntas Comuns
O que é o Skyscraper Sudoku? ▾
Skyscraper Sudoku is a variant where numbers appear outside the grid on all four sides. Each number tells you how many distinct 'buildings' (digits) are visible when looking into that row or column from that side. Taller buildings hide shorter ones behind them — a larger digit blocks any smaller digit placed further into the row.
How does visibility work in Skyscraper Sudoku? ▾
Imagine the digits in a row as buildings of different heights. Looking from one end, you can see a building only if no taller building stands between you and it. A clue of 1 means only the first building is visible, so it must be the tallest (digit 9). A clue of 9 means all buildings are visible, so the row must be in ascending order from that side.
What do extreme clue values tell me? ▾
A clue of 1 means the first cell from that side holds a 9 — it blocks everything else. A clue of 9 means the row or column is in strictly ascending order from that direction (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). Both are immediately actionable. Mid-range clues require enumerating valid permutations.
Is Skyscraper Sudoku harder than regular Sudoku? ▾
Yes, generally. Skyscraper clues require enumerating valid digit permutations for each row and column, which is more combinatorially intensive than classic Sudoku elimination. Easy puzzles are accessible; hard and expert puzzles require tracking visibility across multiple rows and columns simultaneously.
What is the best first strategy for Skyscraper Sudoku? ▾
Start with clues of 1 and 9 — they immediately fix a digit or fully determine the order of a row. Then look for clues of 2, which constrain the position of the 9 significantly. Combine skyscraper deductions with standard Sudoku box and row/column scans.
How long does Skyscraper Sudoku take to solve? ▾
Easy puzzles take 8–20 minutes. Medium puzzles run 20–40 minutes. Hard puzzles average 40–75 minutes and expert puzzles often exceed 90 minutes. Fast solvers develop the ability to enumerate valid visibility permutations quickly without writing them all out.
