Play Hashi (Bridges) puzzles online: rules and tips

How to play Bridges

• An island’s number is the total number of bridges touching it.
• Connect islands horizontally or vertically to the next visible island in that direction.
• Use at most two bridges between a pair of islands. Bridges cannot cross or pass through islands.
• Every island must join the same connected network.

Your first useful move

Count each island’s possible neighbours. A 4 with only two available neighbours needs a double bridge to both of them.

Playing on HubbardGames

Tap an island and then a highlighted neighbour, or tap the gap between them, to cycle through no bridge, one bridge and two bridges.

Choose your difficulty

Choose Easy, Normal or Hard in the Library to build confidence. The daily league also includes Bridges; Library practice does not add league points.

Can I practise without affecting the league?

Yes. Choose a puzzle from the Library to practise this game. Library practice does not add league points. You can return to an unfinished puzzle later.
