Rules & FAQ

How to Play

Goal: Find the Lexagon and stack up the most points and gems.

1

Swipe along adjacent tiles to form words. Each tile can only be used once per word. The word bank below contains all the words in alphabetical order - use this to your advantage!

2

The Lexagon is the longest word on the board. A Clue phrase below the grid will guide you to it. You can see where the Clue words and the Lexagon are in the word bank below.

3

Use the definition hints when you get stuck! Every three words you find earn a hint - which gives you the definnition of the word and the first letter. You can also "buy" more hints with your gems. Once you find the Lexagon, unlimited definition hints unlock to guide you to puzzle mastery.

Scoring

Points
Every word has a point value based on its letters and length - think Scrabble meets Boggle. Longer words are worth exponentially more points!
Bonus Words
Every puzzle has bonus words included which increase your point score, and help with earning more definition hints - i.e. gems.
Gems
Up to 25 Gems can be earned be default on every puzzle - the 6 progress gems that are collected as progress around the board, and the 19 hexagon tiles that you clear by finding all the words. Every unused definition hint that you've earned also converts to a gem. Find as many words as you can, along with bonus words without using hints and maximize your gems earned.
