STAGE 2 | CLUE 2
Hashiwokakero is played on a rectangular grid with no standard size, although the grid itself is not usually drawn. Some cells start out with (usually encircled) numbers from 1 to 8 inclusive; these are the islands. The rest of the cells are empty.
The goal is to connect all of the islands into a single connected group by drawing a series of bridges between the islands. The bridges must follow certain criteria:
* They must begin and end at distinct islands, travelling a straight line in between;
* They must not cross any other bridges or islands.
* They may only run perpendiculary.
* At most two bridges connect a pair of islands.
* The number of bridges connected to each island must match the number on that island.
