Two shaded cells in every region. Pairs never touch. That is the whole rulebook, and it stays fresh for a thousand levels. Hexpair is the Norinori logic puzzle on a hexagonal board. 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. The daily challenge and hints are free for everyone. To go further, buy Pro once and every level on every ladder opens for good, or watch an optional ad now and then to unlock the next batch. Nothing you unlock ever locks again. Download Hexpair and solve your first pair in under a minute. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
