Today's 5×5 skyscraper

A new Easy board here every day. Gold cells are given. A highlighted 1 on the edge means the nearest cell is 5. You have two hints. This is a web warm-up: the shared daily, streaks and harder levels are in the app.

A clue of 1 means the nearest cell is 5. Start with a highlighted 1.

How to play

  • Place heights 1–5 so each row and column uses every height once.
  • Edge numbers are how many rooftops you can see from that side. Taller buildings hide shorter ones.
  • A clue of 1 means the nearest building is 5 — those 1s are highlighted to start you off. You get two hints on this sample board; each fills a cell. The iOS app uses a stepped hint that can explain why before filling.
  • A red cell means the same height twice in a row or column. A red clue means that finished line doesn't match the view.
  • Keys 1–5 place a height, Backspace erases, H uses a hint, arrows move. Nothing is sent to our servers.
