Full Capacity

This island's number equals everything its remaining connections could possibly carry — every one of them must be filled to its maximum.

How it works

  1. 1The 4 in the top-left corner needs 4 bridges, and it only has two possible directions — right and down.
  2. 2Each direction can carry at most 2 bridges, so 2 + 2 is exactly 4: there's no slack at all.
  3. 3Both connections must be double bridges. The same logic applies to a 6 on an edge or an 8 anywhere.

This island already has all the bridges its number allows — no other connection can touch it.
