How to play Hashi Bridges

Hashi Bridges gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. 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.
