Calm, tactile, and nothing on the puzzle screen but the puzzle. THE RULES • Every region gets exactly two shaded cells • Shaded cells form pairs, and a pair may cross region borders • Two pairs never touch edge to edge Hex makes the rules purer than the classic square version. No diagonals, no exceptions, no fine print. THREE LADDERS • 6×6, 8×8 and 10×10 boards, each with its own ladder • Over a thousand levels per size • A gentle ramp to start, then difficulty that rises and falls so no stretch becomes a grind • Everyone plays the same levels in the same order, so you can compare notes DAILY CHALLENGE • One new puzzle per size every day, the same for everyone in the world • One attempt, timed, ranked on Game Center leaderboards • Unlocks after 20 solved levels of that size, so you arrive ready BUILT FOR THINKING • Tap to mark a cell empty, double tap to shade it, drag to mark many at once • Free hints and unlimited undo on ladder levels • Learn the game in four guided levels • Progress syncs over iCloud between iPhone and iPad • The ladder plays offline NO INTERRUPTIONS No banners. No interstitials. No timers pushing you along. Take as long as you like. FREE AND PRO The first 100 levels on 6×6, 50 on 8×8 and 25 on 10×10 are free.
