How to play Hashi Bridges

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Hashi Bridges. Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. 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. 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

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. Read the matching step again.

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.
