Questions

What is a Skyscrapers puzzle?
Skyscrapers is a Latin-square logic puzzle. Each cell is a building of a height from 1 to the grid size, every row and column holds each height once, and each number around the edge counts how many buildings are visible looking in from that side, since a taller building hides every shorter one behind it.
Is this Skyscrapers generator free?
Yes. Pick a difficulty, generate a puzzle and print the grid plus its answer, with no sign-up and no watermark. It is free for classroom, home and personal use.
Does every puzzle have one solution?
Yes. Every puzzle is generated and checked by the same solver our Publisher Studio uses, so the edge clues fix exactly one arrangement of heights. A puzzle is never ambiguous or unsolvable.
Does it include the answer?
Yes. Every puzzle prints as two pages: the grid of edge clues on page one and the completed grid of heights on page two, so you can check your work.
What size are the pages?
The free tool prints at 8.25 by 11 inches, a popular large-print size. Our Publisher Studio will export the same book at any KDP trim, from 5.06 by 7.81 up to 8.27 by 11.69, as a print-ready 300 DPI interior.
