Interesting, the bridge from the first key to the shrub on the left (which I assume is the one you mean?) isn't supposed to be there, and isn't there when I load it.
The intended solution involves blocking the exit back to the start area, and using the key to move clockwise to the next puzzle:
I know what happened. After getting stumped I went to build mode (not to change anything) for a bird's eye view call it cheating. while panning around I must have created the bridge. I will play again.
