Easy to learn. Hard to put down. Hexly is a modern hex-grid puzzle built for daily play, streak chasing, and long-term mastery. Turn every number green to win, but getting there takes smart reads, careful deductions, and a feel for the board. Pure Logic. No Guessing. Every puzzle is built with one solution you can reach through logic alone. No lucky guesses, just careful reads of the board. Daily Puzzles A fresh set of challenges every day in four sizes: Mini, Small, Medium, and Large. How many can you complete? Free Play Practice without pressure or deadlines. Use Free Play to warm up, experiment, and keep sharpening your game. Streaks Come back daily, build momentum, and keep your run alive. Precision Mode No undo. Every move counts. Earn your Precision badge and build a separate Precision streak of your own. Mark Your Deductions Press and hold a hex to mark it as unused. Marked hexes show a dashed outline and help you track the spaces you have ruled out. Marks are notes, not moves, so they never count toward solving and can be cleared anytime, including in Precision Mode. Puzzle Packs Go beyond the daily with permanent puzzle packs of 100 puzzles each. Starter Pack is free. Challenge Pack raises the difficulty, Challenge Pack Vol. 2 pushes even further, Zen Pack offers a calmer flow, Precision Pack keeps Precision Mode always on, and Speed Pack adds a 3-second timer and no undo. Pure instinct, no safety net. Achievements Unlock Game Center achievements as you play, from your first solve to perfect weeks and long-term streak milestones. Share Your Results Share your solve times and streak with one tap. Compare results, challenge friends, and claim bragging rights. Stats That Reward Momentum Track solve times, personal bests, and streak history. Watch yourself improve. Your streak is waiting...
