Here's where you can attempt Lightning Strikes over the City by Gerhard1963: https://sudokupad.app/4keyz4eat2
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the value shown. Each cell represents a ‘skyscraper' whose height is the digit in that cell. Taller skyscrapers obscure the view of smaller ones. Clues outside the grid indicate how many skyscrapers are visible looking across the row or column from the direction of the clue. Digits along the arrow sum to the number in the pill which is read left-to-right.
