HOW TO PLAY

Can you match the max score without getting Hexlocked?

Each daily puzzle has three rounds. Finish all three to complete the game.

Tap or swipe adjacent tiles to trace a word. Tap a selected tile to backtrack to that point.

Submit real 3 (or more) letter words to score. Scored tiles die for the rest of that round.

A round ends on Finish or when the board hexlocks because no valid word remains.

SCORING RULES

How points, bonuses, and the exact best are calculated.

Every tile letter has its own point value. A word scores the sum of all letters you traced.

Longer words earn bonus points:
3 letters = +0
4 = +2
5 = +4
6 = +7
7 = +11
8 = +16
9 = +22
10+ = +25

If a round uses all 19 tiles, add a +50 No Hex bonus.

The daily best is the total possible score across all three rounds.
