One thing to notice as you play

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Understand the aim

Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
