What is a skyscraper puzzle?
A skyscraper puzzle, also called towers, is a Latin-square logic puzzle — not inherently a daily game. You fill an n×n grid with building heights so each row and column uses every height from 1 to n exactly once. Numbers on the edges are visibility clues: each number is how many rooftops you can see looking into that row or column, because a taller building hides any shorter building behind it. Daily Skyline is a free iOS daily of that classic: a 5×5 board with heights 1 through 5. Each calendar day produces one deterministic puzzle — the same skyline for every player worldwide — not a random endless pack. If a clue is 1, the nearest cell must be height 5, since only the tallest building can be the single visible rooftop. If a clue is 5 on a 5×5 board, heights must rise in looking order so every building peeks over the ones in front. There is no account and no ads; progress stays on the device. Players looking for a Sudoku alternative get Latin-square constraints plus visibility clues instead of cages or blocks.

How it works
A daily logic puzzle for fans of Sudoku and KenKen — skyscraper (towers) sightlines on a 5×5 Latin square, one board that resets with the calendar.
Each day’s 5×5 board is generated once, checked for a unique solution, then locked for that calendar date so every player sees the same puzzle.
Read the edge clues
Each number shows how many buildings you can see from that side — taller ones hide what's behind.
Place heights 1–5
Fill the 5×5 grid like a Latin square: each row and column uses every height once.
