Forced Bridge
Medium
Used by Smart Hint
Even maxing out every other connection would leave this island short — so this connection must carry the difference.
- Bridge to add
- Islands that establish the pattern
How it works
- The corner island needs 3 bridges across two directions.
- If either direction carried nothing, the other could supply at most 2 — one short.
- So each direction must carry at least one bridge. The same logic applies to a 5 on an edge or a 7 anywhere.
