Spell Seeker is a fun, highly-addictive word game that will put your vocabulary skills to the test. There are two main game modes, Puzzle and Word Search, plus timed versions of both. The stats screen keeps track of your best scores, encouraging you to improve your game. Puzzle allows you to race against the rising tower of lettered tiles to make words before they reach the top. Play at your own pace or see how many words you can create before the timer runs out. Word Search follows the same basic word-creation premise, but you start with a full grid of tiles. Your challenge is to come up with as many words as you can, aiming to get the highest possible score before all the tiles are used up. There's a dictionary to check the definitions of words you've made and you can log into Game Center to keep track of your scores and compare results with other players! Its simple, yet challenging, premise makes Spell Seeker the ultimate game for idle hands and minds seeking to be entertained.

Your goal is to fill all hexagons with numbers from 1 to 6. Some numbers are already filled. There are only two simple rules in the game: • There can be only unique numbers in each hexagon (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, there cannot be two identical numbers in one hexagon. • Two adjacent cells from different hexagons must have the same number. That sounds easy, right? However, passing some levels can take a lot of time and effort. We have created 3000 unique levels with varying degrees of difficulty in our application. If you are playing Hexoku for the first time, try the level “Novice”. Each difficulty level contains 500 unique levels. Where level 1 is the easiest and 500 is the most difficult. If you can easily solve the 500st level of one difficulty level, try the first level of the next level of difficulty. Good luck!
