Question 3

Is Bridges the same as Hashi or Hashiwokakero?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bridges, Hashi, Hashiwokakero and “Build Bridges” are all names for the same Japanese logic puzzle, with the same rules.

Question 4

Does every puzzle have exactly one solution?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every puzzle is solved start to finish by our solver before it ships, which proves it has a single solution you can reach by logic alone, with no guessing.

Question 5

Every island has the right number of bridges. Why isn’t the puzzle solved?

Accepted Answer

The islands also have to be connected in one group. If every number is right and the puzzle hasn’t finished, your bridges have split the islands into separate groups. Find a group that only connects to itself and move one of its bridges so it joins the rest. The Hint button will show you a bridge that doesn’t belong.
