A new logic puzzle every day on a hexagonal grid. Fit every tile so every line — sum, product, parity, range — tells the truth. A five-minute daily ritual that scales to expert-level satisfaction. Hexponents is a deduction puzzle. Each line of the hex board carries a constraint: the sum equals 14, every tile must be even, no negatives, the product is exactly –24. You're given a bag of numbered tiles. Place every tile so every constraint holds. There's exactly one solution. No guessing — just careful reasoning. WHAT'S IN THE GAME — Four difficulty tiers, from a five-minute Easy warm-up to Expert puzzles built for solvers who finish the hardest crosswords in under ten. — A new puzzle in every difficulty, every day, at midnight Eastern. — Ten constraint types: sums, products, ≥, ≤, all-even, all-odd, no-negatives, all-negatives, n-negatives, and contains-set. Cells can also carry restrictions (even-only, prime-only, positive-only) and tile modifiers (multiply by 3, add 5). — Three free hints to start. If you get stuck, Reveal places one correct tile. More hints available as a 25-pack for $0.99. — A daily leaderboard with a Friends filter. Beat your friends, not strangers. — 50 badges to chase, from speed badges (sub-30s Easy, sub-10min Expert) to the All-Rounder (every difficulty in a single day) and The Completionist (every puzzle since launch). — Built-in tutorial that teaches every mechanic without lecturing. PREMIUM Hexponents is free to play. One daily puzzle in every difficulty is available to everyone, forever. Premium unlocks: — The full archive — every daily puzzle since launch, replayable any time. — Offline downloader — pull a week's worth of puzzles for the train. — Custom puzzle designer — build your own hex puzzles and publish them for the community to play and rate. Premium is $1.99/month or $19.99/year. Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled in App Store settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. CUSTOM MAPS Premium designers can build custom puzzles in the in-app designer. Every published puzzle is solver-verified before it ships — if it's broken, it can't be published. Share via a link that opens directly in the app for everyone, even non-premium players. Browse the community feed, upvote your favorites, and follow the designers who build the puzzles you love. BUILT FOR DAILY PLAY — Streak counter rewards consecutive days played, not just solved. — Optional push notification at midnight when a new puzzle is live. — Sync across web (hexponents.com) and iOS through your account. — Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. — No ads. No tracking. No data collection beyond what's needed to run the game. Hexponents is built for puzzlers who want a real challenge in five minutes a day, not another time-killer.
