Bridges Islands: play the bridges puzzle online free

Bridges Islands is a calm logic puzzle. Numbered islands sit in the water. Each number says how many bridges must touch that island, and you build them to join every island into one network.
Bridges run straight, one or two between a pair, and never cross. Every puzzle has exactly one answer. There are 12 levels, from 4 islands up to about 24.

How to play
- Open the game and start at level 1. Levels open in order.
- Tap one island, then tap its neighbor to build a bridge. You can also drag from an island, or tap the water between two islands.
- Tap the same pair again to make a double bridge. A third tap clears it.
- An island's number is how many bridges it needs. An island with too many turns red.
- Bridges must run straight and cannot cross another bridge. If you try, it shakes and the bridge in the way flashes.
- Join every island into one network to win. If every number is full but the islands are in separate groups, you get a gentle note. Undo and Hint help. On a keyboard, the arrows move from island to island and Enter picks.
Tips
- Begin with the sure things. A 4 in a corner, a 6 on an edge or an 8 in the middle needs a double bridge in every direction.
- A 1 can only have one bridge. Two 1s side by side would cut each other off from the rest, so do not join them.
- Hints cost stars. Try on your own first, and keep a hint for when you are really stuck.
