How to play Towers

Fill each row and column with heights 1 to N exactly once. An outside clue tells you how many towers are visible from that direction; taller towers hide shorter ones behind them. Play with the original Nickelbar rules and board drawings. Help below the game lists its keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Your current game stays in this browser tab.

Select a square and type a height, or click again to count up.
Check the view from every numbered edge.
Use M for pencil marks and complete the grid without repeats.
