How to play

  1. Pick one of the three pieces under the board, then tap a cell to set it down. The piece lands with its middle on the cell you tap.
  2. A row is complete when every hexagon along one of the three directions is filled. Complete rows disappear and score extra.
  3. Clearing several lines with one piece multiplies the bonus, so setting up a double or triple pays far more than three singles.
  4. When none of the pieces left in your hand fit anywhere, the game ends. Your best score is saved on this device.

Tips and strategy

  • Lines run three ways on a honeycomb. Look along all three before placing, not only left to right.
  • Keep the middle of the board open. Short edge lines clear easily, but the long middle lines are where the big bonuses are.
  • Avoid leaving single empty hexagons that no piece can fill. A lone gap is worth more to the next hand than a perfect fit is to this one.
  • A one-hexagon piece is a rescue. Hold it back until a tight spot needs it.

FAQ

How is this different from a square block puzzle?
Hexagons touch six neighbours, so lines run in three directions and pieces fit together differently. Plans that work on a square grid often do not work here.
Can I rotate the pieces?
No. Pieces keep the orientation shown, which is what makes planning two moves ahead worthwhile.
Is my best score saved?
Yes, on this device only. Nothing is sent anywhere.
