How to play
Place buildings, each height once per row and column. A clue on the edge says how many buildings you can see from there: tall ones hide short ones.
Example
From the left you see all three buildings of row 1 (1, 2, 3); from the right, the 3 hides everything. From the top of column 1 you see the 1 then the 3: 2 buildings.
A full Easy grid
A real Easy grid (4 × 4), as you play it, and its solution. Same rule as the example above, only bigger.
Tips to get better
- A clue of 1 on the edge: the tallest building is right next to it.
- A clue equal to the grid size: the buildings rise one by one from that edge.
- Place the tallest tower of each row and column first: it hides all the others.
What this game trains
- Logical reasoning: deduce the solution from the rules, without guessing.
- Visuospatial perception: picture shapes, positions and paths.
