How do I play?

Most hexes are already in the right place in a smooth gradient. Find the ones that are out of place and swap them: tap one, then the other, or drag one onto the other. A swap that puts nothing in its place bounces back, and still costs a swap.

What are the dotted tiles?

Guide tiles. They never move, so use them to see where the gradient is going.

How do stars work?

Solve a level in the fewest possible swaps for three stars; a couple of extra swaps still gets two.

What happens if I run out of swaps?

You can try again, take +3 swaps from a rescue, or spend Hex Coins to continue. Your first rescue is free.

What are boosters?

Fix puts one wrong tile home without using a swap. Reveal lights up every wrong tile for three seconds. +3 gives you three more swaps. You get them from the daily gift, world chests, win streaks and bonus rounds, or buy them with Hex Coins.

What is Hex Plus?

An optional subscription: no ads, a free booster every day, double rewards from chests and the daily gift, a free rescue when you run out, two exclusive tile styles and every past Daily.

How do I restore a purchase on a new phone?

Open Settings → Restore purchases, signed in to the same Apple or Google account you bought with.

Does Hex work offline?

Yes. Everything except online features (cloud save, leaderboards, friends) works without a connection.

Until then you play as a guest: your progress and Hex Coins are saved in this browser, and your coins keep adding up as you play. Signing in lets you spend them and use boosters, and keeps them safe on every device.
