Drop hexagon blocks onto a honeycomb board, connect three of the same number, and merge your way up to nine. Every piece you place is a small group of numbered hexes. Rotate it, find the spot where its numbers land against the same number already on the board, and as soon as three or more of them connect they collapse into the next number up. Chain those merges and a single placement can cascade across half the board. Nine is the highest tile you can make. Connect three nines and they become a bomb that detonates, sweeping outward and clearing everything in its path. It is the cleanest way out of a board that is closing in on you. Nothing is racing you. There is no move timer and no clock on the board. The only pressure is space: when there is nowhere left to fit the next piece, the run is over. HOW TO PLAY - Drag a hex group from the tray onto the honeycomb - Rotate the group before you place it - Connect three or more of the same number to merge them into the next number up - Work up to nine, then connect three nines to blow the board open - The run ends when no piece fits WHEN YOU GET STUCK - Undo your last placement - Use the hammer to smash a single hex out of the board - Collect a daily bonus of coins and undos WHY YOU WILL KEEP PLAYING - One rule to learn, a whole board to read - Short runs that fit a bus ride, deep enough to chase a best score - The puzzle plays offline, with no connection needed - Free, with no lives to wait for and no time limits Nines Puzzle is a quiet, thinking-paced number game. No countdown on your moves, no noise, just you and a board that slowly fills up. Free to play, with optional ads and in-app purchases.
