Play Daily SkylineA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Daily Skyline presents one shared 5×5 skyscraper puzzle every day in the browser and in companion apps. Players place the numbers 1 through 5 so each row and column contains every height once, and the edge clues indicate how many rooftops are visible from that side. Gold cells and highlighted 1s appear on the board as givens.
The web version is free and intended as an Easy 5×5 warm-up, while the iOS and Android apps include the shared daily board plus streak tracking and additional harder levels for free. The interface shows two hints on the sample board, uses color feedback for errors, and supports keyboard controls; nothing is sent to the servers from your browser.
How to play Daily Skyline
- How to play: Place heights 1 to 5 so each row and each column contains every height exactly once.
- Use the edge numbers to determine how many rooftops are visible from that side, remembering taller buildings block shorter ones behind them.
- Start with highlighted 1 clues because a clue of 1 means the nearest building is height 5.
- Use the Hint button twice on the sample board to automatically fill two cells, and use the Erase or Backspace control to remove entries.
Tips for Daily Skyline
- Begin with any highlighted 1 clues since they tell you the nearest cell is height 5 and often unlock other placements.
- Use uniqueness in a row or column: if four heights are placed the remaining cell must be the missing height.
- Check edge clues against completed lines; a red clue indicates the finished line's visible count does not match the clue and needs correction.
- Use given gold cells and the visibility rules together: a 5 on an edge-facing cell will always reduce the visible count from that side to 1.
