How to play Hashi Bridges

Try Hashi Bridges at your own pace and keep its objective in view. 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. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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. Make the next step deliberately.

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. The example below illustrates a decision.

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. 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. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
