Hexa
Hexa takes the fill-the-grid puzzle format familiar from block-stacking games and swaps the usual square grid for a honeycomb of hexagons. You're given a handful of hexagon-shaped pieces at a time and have to drag them onto the board, fitting them into the empty cells. Complete a full line of hexagons — in any of the board's three directions, since a hex grid doesn't just run horizontally and vertically — and that line disappears, opening space back up and rewarding you with gems. There's no timer forcing your hand; the pressure comes entirely from the board itself. Every piece you place has to go somewhere, and if none of your available pieces fit anywhere left on the board, the run is over. The hexagonal layout means lines run at more angles than a standard grid puzzle, which changes the math on what counts as a safe placement.
How to play Hexa
Basics
- You're given a small set of hexagon pieces made up of one or more hex cells; drag one onto the board to place it.
- Placed pieces stay put — there's no removing or rotating them once they're down.
- Fill every hexagon in a straight line, in any of the grid's three directions, to clear that line and score points.
- Clearing several lines with one placement earns extra rewards, including gems.
- The game ends when none of your current pieces can be legally placed anywhere on the board.
Tips and strategy
Before placing anything, check whether the current piece has more than one valid spot, and if so, pick the one that keeps the board's open space as connected as possible — small, isolated one-cell gaps are the main way runs end early. Try to keep at least one edge or corner clear as a flexible landing zone for whatever piece comes next, since edges accept fewer piece shapes than open middle space. Don't force a placement just to clear a line right now if it leaves a scattering of unusable single cells behind; a slightly less efficient placement that keeps the board tidy usually pays off over several more turns. When you do get a chance to clear multiple lines at once, take it — it's the most efficient way to open space back up and rack up gems in one move.

Frequently asked questions
How is Hexa different from square block puzzles?
The board is made of hexagons instead of squares, so lines can run in three directions instead of two, changing how pieces fit together.
Can I rotate the pieces?
No, pieces are placed exactly as shown; you can only choose where on the board to drop them.
What do gems do?
Gems are earned by clearing lines, especially multiple lines at once, and serve as your score for the run.
When does a run end?
The game ends when none of the pieces currently available to you can fit anywhere on the board.
Is there a time limit?
No, there's no clock — you can take as long as you need to plan each placement.
