Take a closer look while playing

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.

The objective of a round

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.

Making your moves

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

An example to follow

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.

A common point of confusion

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
