Puzzle Hex Guide

Basic Controls

1. A honeycomb grid with some cells already filled.
2. You receive angular pieces (dominoes, trihexes, irregular shapes) one at a time.
3. Drag each piece onto the grid so it covers only empty cells.
4. A piece that cannot be placed ends the run.
5. Score points by filling complete rows of hexagons, which then clear.

Strategy & Advanced Tips

• Keep the board flat. Avoid creating isolated single-cell gaps — they cannot be filled by any piece larger than a monohex.
• Prioritise awkward pieces. When you see a complex shape coming, plan its landing spot before placing the current easy piece.
• Fill edges first. The hex grid edges constrain placement options; keeping the centre open gives you more flexibility for odd shapes.
• Chain clears for bonus points. Completing multiple rows in one placement triggers a combo multiplier worth 2-3× the normal score.
• Rotate pieces early. Tap a piece to rotate it 60° before placing — the right orientation can mean the difference between fitting and game over.

Playing on Mobile vs Desktop

On mobile, drag pieces with your finger and tap to rotate. On desktop, mouse drag and right-click to rotate. The hex grid is sized to fit phone portrait screens.

Common Mistakes

• Placing pieces without checking if the next one will fit in the remaining space.
• Creating isolated holes that no future piece can fill.
• Forgetting to rotate before dragging — the default orientation rarely fits perfectly.
