7x7 Hashi Puzzles

A 7x7 hashi spreads about a dozen islands over a small layout, so every island has only a few neighbors and its bridges are short, four cells at most. That makes the rules easy to see at work: an island in a corner, an 8 surrounded on four sides, a 1 that cannot reach another 1.

Each page carries one puzzle at Easy, Medium or Hard. Easy puzzles yield to counting alone; Medium and Hard ones also need the rule that the islands must all be connected. Every puzzle has a single solution.

How to Solve a 7x7 Hashi

Start with the islands that leave no choice: a 3 in a corner with only two neighbors must send at least one bridge to each, and a 4 there takes two to each. Draw those bridges, update what the neighbors still need, and the small grid usually follows island by island.

Three Levels on a Small Layout

Easy puzzles only need counting. Medium puzzles add the connection rule: a bridge that would lock two or three islands into a closed group is impossible. Hard puzzles sometimes need a bridge imagined, followed and ruled out.

A First Bridges Puzzle

With few islands and short bridges, a 7x7 puzzle is the right place to learn. Draw the bridges with a ruler or freehand, and use a light pencil mark for a bridge you are not yet sure of.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the numbers in the circles mean?

Each number is the total of bridges that island ends up with. A double bridge counts as two, so an island marked 2 can have one double bridge or two single ones to different neighbors.

Can bridges go diagonally?

No. Bridges run only across or down, in a straight line, between two islands with nothing in between.
