Here is where you can play the extraordinary Uptown by Philip Newman: https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/sudoku/q36fnnDF9M
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each number placed into the grid represents the height of a building. Clues outside the grid tell you how many buildings can be 'seen' along the indicated diagonal when looking from that direction; buildings which are shorter or the same height are hidden from view. For example, a 4 clue along a 7-cell diagonal might be satisfied by 3141592 or 4455567.
