A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. Check the rule before repeating the action. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
