Mini (Beginner) Hashi Puzzles
7×7 gridPerfect for learning the rules of Hashi
Mini puzzles play on a compact 7×7 grid with 8 to 12 islands — small enough to hold the whole board in your head at once. They are the ideal starting point for anyone new to Hashi, giving you a clean space to practice the core rule: every island's number tells you exactly how many bridges must touch it. Mini grids rarely require more than a few deduction steps, so you can reach a satisfying solve in just a few minutes without getting lost.

Tips for Mini Puzzles
- Start with any island numbered 1 — it needs exactly one bridge, which often locks in its only legal neighbor immediately.
- Corner islands (touching only two possible neighbors) are your best friend on a mini grid. Check them first.
- Bridges cannot cross. On a 7×7 board this constraint is surprisingly powerful — eliminating one crossing candidate often forces the correct bridge.
