How to play Hashi Bridges

Choose a round of Hashi Bridges and settle into its rules. Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

Build a steady rhythm

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

Watch out for this

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
