Hi everyone! Today's puzzle is a Hashiwokakero (often shortened to just Hashi)!
The first time we saw this genre in GAPP, we weren't even providing links to the example puzzles yet. This genre is one of my favorites for "meditative" solving-- I've sat down and solved dozens of them in single sessions before, as most of them don't require a ton of thought. It's quite fun, and hopefully you find today's puzzle fun, too!

Rules: Connect pairs of circles horizontally or vertically so that all circles form one connected network. Connections may not cross one another, and any pair of circles may have at most two connections between them. Numbers in circles represent the amount of connections they’re a part of.

All of these rules are super important to keep in mind throughout today's puzzle-- particularly that all circles have to form one connected network!
