The Hashi Bridges playbook

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. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

Try a more deliberate round

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.

The goal to keep in mind

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.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

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. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A closer look at one example

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

Notice this detail

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
