Hawfold
Hawfold is a daily logic puzzle where you plant hedges on a drawn English parish until each numbered field shows the required count, and the hedges form a single non-branching loop that resets once per day.
Play HawfoldA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Hawfold presents one logic puzzle per day using the visual of an English parish map, and every player worldwide receives the same parish on a given day. The objective is to plant hedges so that every field with a number meets its target count; when solved the hedges connect into a single continuous loop with no branches, crossings, or loose ends.
The site is free and offered without advertising, and it includes a built-in teacher that explains why particular moves are forced during a solve. The game notes browser requirements and works in current releases of mainstream desktop and mobile browsers, and the archive section lists every parish published so far for review.
How to play Hawfold
- Open the daily parish map and note the numbered fields and empty spaces where hedges can be placed.
- Plant hedge segments step by step so numbered fields end up with exactly the count shown.
- Use logical deduction and the teacher hints to avoid branches, crossings, and loose ends as you build a single continuous loop.
- Finish when all numbered fields match their counts and the hedge segments form one non-branching closed loop.
Tips for Hawfold
- Remember the final solution must be a single closed loop, so avoid moves that would create multiple disjoint loops or loose ends.
- Use the teacher explanations when unsure, since each provided step shows why a particular placement is forced by the puzzle constraints.
- Treat each numbered field as a local constraint but check how placing hedges affects neighboring fields to prevent creating branches.
- If a proposed hedge segment would force a branch or crossing later, prefer the alternative; the global loop rule often rules out locally plausible placements.
