9x9 Hashi Puzzles

The 9x9 hashi is the classic size of the game, with about twenty islands and bridges up to five cells long. Islands now have more possible neighbors, so the first bridges come from the numbers that are large for their position, and the rest from what each island still needs.

One puzzle fills each page, at Easy, Medium or Hard. Medium puzzles ask you to keep every group of islands open to the others; Hard puzzles sometimes ask you to try a bridge and see where it leads. Each puzzle has one solution.

Finding the First Bridges

Compare each island with its neighbors: a 5 with three neighbors must send at least one bridge to each of them, since two neighbors can give it at most four. A 1 next to a single neighbor sends its only bridge there. These sure bridges cut the paths of others, and the puzzle opens from them.

The Connection Rule in Practice

At Medium, watch the small groups: two 1s cannot link to each other, and two 2s cannot share a double bridge, because each pair would be cut off from the rest. Ruling those bridges out often decides where the remaining ones must go.

The Classic Hashi Size

The 9x9 puzzles balance length and clarity: enough islands for real deductions, few enough that the page stays easy to read. Start with Easy, then move up one level at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the puzzles have no grid lines?

Printed hashi shows only the islands, as in puzzle books, to keep the page clear. The Hashi generator can add light gray lines or dots under the islands if you prefer a guide.

Can two islands share three bridges?

No, two bridges at most between the same two islands. An island marked 6 with three neighbors therefore takes a double bridge to each of them.
