The daily skyline puzzle, free every day
Fill the grid with building heights so each edge number counts the buildings you can see. A new board every day, one answer each, no ads and no account. A $4 pass adds the archive, practice boards and stats.
- Today's puzzle is always free, with 100 days already scheduled
- Archive of every past daily puzzle
- 60 practice boards from 4 by 4 to 6 by 6
- Full stats: three-star finishes, streaks, average time, hints and checks
- Three extra themes, including a mono theme with bigger numbers
Here is a real 5 by 5 board (practice board 3, shown free here as an example). Put a height from 1 to 5 in every cell so each row and column uses every height once, and each number on the edge counts the buildings you can see from there (a tall building hides the shorter ones behind it). A 5 on the left of row 3 means you can see all five, so that row climbs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It has exactly one answer.

When you finish, you copy a result like this (an illustrative example, not a result from the board above). It shows no heights, so nobody is spoiled:

The game is free. The optional Supporter Pass ($4, one time) adds the archive, practice boards, stats and themes.
Made for
Who it's for
One fair answer
Every board has exactly one solution, confirmed by two independent programs, and can be solved by logic without guessing, so a stuck moment is never a bad board.
No ads, no account
Nothing to sign up for and no ads. Your streak lives in your own browser. The $4 pass is optional and one-time.
Spoiler-free sharing
Your result shows stars, checks, hints and a skyline trace of how fast the grid filled in, never a single height.
Built for everyone
Numbers are plain text with a repeat marker, not colour alone. Play works by touch, mouse or keyboard, with pencil notes, and nothing makes a sound.

Questions
Good to know
Is the daily puzzle really free?
Yes. Today's puzzle is never locked. The pass adds the archive, practice boards, full stats and themes.
Does the pass renew?
No. It is a single $4 payment with no subscription. Your key is checked against our key service and remembered in your browser.
Where is my progress saved?
In your browser only (local storage). We keep no accounts and see no personal data. Clearing site data clears streaks.
When does a new puzzle appear?
At midnight on your own device clock, the same puzzle for everyone on that calendar date.
Is it based on another game?
Skyscrapers (also called towers or skyline) is an old public puzzle family. Vantage's boards, daily schedule, scoring and interface are our own.
What if I get stuck?
Use pencil notes, Undo, a hint (marked on your result), the solving guide, or the free solver that solves, counts and explains any clue set you type in.
