Welcome to our newest site: Bridge Puzzles!

Also known as Hashiwokakero (or simply "Hashi"), this classic logic puzzle challenges you to connect a network of islands with bridges using pure logical deduction.

As with any new site, there are bound to be issues/bugs we missed in the initial build, so if you notice any issues or have any questions please post here.

Thanks as always!

Glad to hear it! Would love to hear your feedback if you feel there's any game board functionality that needs improvements/tweaks.

I am having an issue with some puzzles here. The puzzle is technically solved, there are no red numbers anywhere, but the puzzle isn't solving. When I click "Hint" it removes some of my bridges and says it was done wrong and I receive a penalty.

Unfortunately your "pre-hint" upload isn't displaying for me - could you post it again, or email it to puzzlebaron@gmail.com?

My apologies, try this:

Thanks! The problem with this grid is that the bottom left section isn't fully incorporated into the network - one of the rules of Bridge puzzles is that every island must be connected to every other island.

Ohh that makes sense. I should have read the fine print, heh. Thank you!

I keep finding situations where my puzzle appears solved - all conditions are met, but it doesn't trigger the completion-confetti.
If I then click "Hint", it will make me change a couple of bridges to trigger completion.
It seems I find alternative solutions to the puzzles and the system doesn't acknowledge them.
Attached is one such example. It has happened many times.

One of the rules of Bridge puzzles is that there must be a path between any two islands on the board. Your paths above split into two "mega groups" that aren't connected to each other.

This is something I'm trying to build a visual solution to at the moment, so it'll be a bit clearer when all islands are connected vs. when they are not.

[AnonyManx]

What about this one?

EDIT: Okay, I see it now. I suggest that the "islands" shouldn't light up entirely until connected to the whole... Kinda light the light-bulb-circuits puzzles...

[AnonyManx]

Yeah, help me see why this isn't a valid solution:

Bottom left section isn't attached.

The game has been updated now so that if all islands are "green" but the entire network is not connected, it will visually alert the player as to the problem.

That is the best update possible to the game. THANK YOU!
