Bring this focus to a round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

Your goal

Connect all islands into one network with exactly the indicated number of attached bridges. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

How to proceed

Select two neighbouring islands or click an edge.
Cycle zero, one or two bridges.
Match every numbered island.
Check puzzle also verifies the islands form one network.

How your actions work

Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A useful example

An island marked 3 may use a double bridge and a single bridge. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

Correct totals in separate disconnected groups do not win. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
