Island Links

Free

Join the islands with bridges. Each island's number says how many bridges touch it. Bridges run straight across or down, at most two between the same pair, and they can't cross each other. Join every island into one network to finish the map. Eight archipelagos, from a handful of islands to a crowded sea.

Controls: Drag from one island to its neighbour to add a bridge; do it again for a second bridge, and once more to remove them. You can also tap one island and then the other. C clears the map.

How to play Island Links

Island Links is a bridge puzzle. Give every island exactly its number of bridges and join them all up.

Controls: Drag from one island to its neighbour to add a bridge; do it again for a second bridge, and once more to remove them. You can also tap one island and then the other. C clears the map.

Tips

  • An island showing 8 needs two bridges in all four directions. An island with only one neighbour must put all its bridges there.
  • A 4 with only two neighbours needs two bridges to each. Look for islands whose number fills every neighbour it has.
  • Two islands showing 1 can't link only to each other, because they would be cut off from the rest.
  • Bridges can't cross, so a bridge you lay can rule out others. Use that to narrow things down.
  • An island's number turns green when it has exactly the bridges it needs.
