How Sumtowers works
Each row and each column must contain every tower height from 1 to N exactly once.
Looking in from an edge, you can see a tower only if it is taller than all towers
before it. The number on that edge is the SUM of the heights of the towers you can see.
Example: a row 2 1 4 3 — from the left you see the 2 and the 4 (the 1 and 3 hide), so the
left clue is 2 + 4 = 6. The tallest tower is always visible, so every clue is at least N.
Every puzzle has exactly one solution, reachable by logic alone.
