How to play Hashi Bridges

Read the aim of Hashi Bridges, then make your first move. Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Use the example below to understand a decision.

Choose from ten nine-island layouts. Join adjacent islands along the straight connections shown.

Notice the feedback

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Step by step

1. Select two neighbouring islands or click an edge.
2. Cycle zero, one or two bridges.
3. Match every numbered island.
4. Check puzzle also verifies the islands form one network.

Controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

Watch out for this

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
