I love these puzzles. They are perfect for solving on my bus commute. Extra challenge is no pen/paper and sometimes I have to scroll back and forth to see the whole puzzle on my phone.
All of the lost bridges I have
tried to date seem to be of the easy/medium difficulty. Is it possible to create them such that the shapes don’t sort in to 1/2,3/4,5/6,7/8 so quickly?
The hard part of writing puzzles is coming up with a puzzle that’s hard to solve, but still has a unique solution. Let me see what I can try to make some harder lost bridges puzzles. I’m not sure that I’ll be able to have one by Tuesday, but maybe the Tuesday after that.

Thanks. I suspected it would be hard to ensure uniqueness. I love the puzzles as they are, by the way, so don’t rack your brain too much!
