How to play Hashi

Each island's number says how many bridges must touch it. Bridges run in straight lines across or down, between two islands, and can be single or double. They can't cross each other or pass over an island, and when you finish, every island must be connected into one network.

Good places to start: an island showing 8 needs double bridges in all four directions; a 4 in a corner needs two double bridges; a 1 next to a 1 can never join it, because that pair would be cut off from everything else.

Sizes and difficulty

Easy puzzles have about a dozen islands on a 7×7 grid. Medium puzzles have around 20 islands on 10×10, and hard ones 30 or more on 13×13, where the connection rule starts to matter a lot.

Printing tips

Every PDF is laid out for both A4 and US Letter. Choose “Actual size” or “100%” in your printer dialogue rather than “Fit to page” so grids stay square.

The puzzles are black on white with thin rules, so they print cleanly in greyscale and use very little ink. Answers come in a separate PDF, so you can print the puzzles now and keep the solutions for later.
