A browser logic game

Hashi — Puzzle Fern is soler-yang's browser implementation of the island-and-bridge puzzle. Its public creator page describes clicking an island and an outlined neighbor to cycle through one bridge, two bridges and no bridge.

This introduction explains the published interaction and the underlying logic. We have not tested every puzzle, device or feature, and do not claim a fastest solution or a daily difficulty rating.

Read constraints before guessing

The island number is the required bridge total. Start by counting eligible directions and the maximum contribution of each neighbor. An island with few directions and a high total can constrain your next choice more than a low number in open space.

For an original example, a four-bridge island with only two possible neighbors must use two bridges in each direction, provided those connections are otherwise legal. This illustrates a local deduction, not a solution to a particular Puzzle Fern board.

Check the whole network

Bridges run horizontally or vertically and cannot cross. The completed puzzle must also form a connected network, so satisfying each island independently is not enough if you create isolated groups.

After making a forced local connection, look at what it removes elsewhere. Learning to explain why a bridge is necessary can make a puzzle more satisfying than rapidly cycling connections until a board happens to finish.

Describe a puzzle problem

If an interaction seems wrong, provide the puzzle identifier if available, a screenshot before the click and the island pair selected. Say whether you expected one bridge, two or none, and what appeared instead.

Use the creator's page for current play access. For a very different short session, compare Radius Raid; the useful distinction is thoughtful constraint solving versus immediate movement pressure, not an unsupported ranking.
