Hex Puzzle

Drag hex-shaped pieces onto the board. Complete a line in any of the three directions to clear it.

How to play

The board is a hexagon made of 37 small hex cells. Three pieces wait at the bottom. Drag any piece up onto the board and release — it snaps to the nearest hex.

A piece can only go in cells that are empty. Once a piece is placed it stays there until a line clears it.

There are three line directions on a hex grid (across, down-left diagonal, down-right diagonal). When every cell along a line is filled, that line clears and you get points. Clearing two or three lines in one drop gives a bonus multiplier.

As you empty pieces from the queue, the next three slide in. The game ends when none of the three pieces in the queue can fit anywhere on the board.

Scoring:
• Each cell placed: +1
• Each cell cleared: +5
• 2-line clear: ×2 to the cleared cells
• 3+ line clear: ×4

Tips & strategy

Drop big pieces against the walls. The board's edges have shorter lines (4 cells long instead of 7), which means they fill up — and clear — much faster. A five-hex L-shape dropped along the outer rim often clears the side line by itself, scoring instantly and freeing space. The same piece dropped in the middle just clutters the centre with no immediate clearance.

The three line directions overlap, so a single cell often contributes to two or even three potential lines at once. The big strategy moment is recognising when a single piece can simultaneously complete a horizontal line, a down-left diagonal, and a down-right diagonal — that's a 3-line clear with the ×4 multiplier and is where leaderboard scores come from. Look for spots where two lines are already nearly full and place toward their shared cell.

If the centre is empty and the rim is filling up, drop your awkward single-hex pieces into the centre so you don't waste a bigger piece's potential there. The centre is forgiving — there's always more empty cells nearby — but a piece that doesn't complete or set up any line is wasted points. Save the multi-hex pieces for moments where they're a step away from completing a row.
