## What is Hexoggle?

Search for words in the hexagonal grid by tracing them out with your finger. Race against the clock to get a high score.

So you've played Boggle and you need something different...Try this hexagonal variant - you'll thrill at the speed you can play when all adjacent letters are on shape sides and not corners. The big company's game bogs you down when you duplicate a word. Hexoggle just scores it as no points and keeps you in the flow. No ads or in-app purchases - buy it and it's yours without annoying ads.

Still impulse-buy priced at only 99 cents.

Full SOWPODS dictionary - we don't pretend "bad" words don't exist.

Universal app - iPhone, iTouch, iPad.

## Key features

- Hexagonal letter grid
- Word tracing gameplay
- Timed high score challenges
- Full SOWPODS dictionary
- Ad-free experience

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2014-01-18*

Fun game for fans of Boggle and other word games. The hexagonal layout is a surprisingly interesting twist. Nice being able to go up against friends on the leader boards.

### 4/5 — Nice alternative to boggle

*2013-04-17*

Very smooth operation.  Do miss having 8 sides per letter in the grid layout.   Sound apparently cannot be muted.  But it's addictive.

### 5/5 — Very addictive!

*2012-06-26*

I'm really glad I bought this game. I've played it a zillion times already and it is fun and fast. I played the advanced version and got about 10 points so maybe I'll try that later. If you enjoy boggle this is a nice variation.

### 5/5 — Addicted to this game

*2011-07-12*

My high score is 106 so far. I can't stop playing.

### 5/5 — Nice hexagon

*2011-06-05*

Lovin this game. Addictive. Easy. Fun. You've gotta check it out. Best less than a buck app I've found in a long time.

### 5/5 — Simple but addicting

*2011-06-05*

It took a few minutes to figure out then I couldn't stop. The whole family is addicted now. It's one of those "let me give it a try" type of games. Then you just keep going.
