About Hexagon
Hexagon is a number merging puzzle played on a honeycomb board. You are handed hexagonal tiles, one or two at a time, each carrying a number. Place a tile next to others showing the same number and they merge into a single tile of higher value.
Because every cell on a hex grid touches six neighbors, merges spread in ways a square grid never allows. One placement can trigger a merge, and that merge can set off another. Planning those chain reactions is where the points come from, since every merge earns points.
The board fills up as you play, so space is always the pressure. There is one generous release valve: create a 512 tile and its explosive merge clears extra room on the grid. Building toward that moment, without choking the board first, is the long game.
How to play Hexagon
- Take the tile or pair of tiles you are given.
- Place them on empty cells of the hexagonal grid.
- Put a tile next to tiles with the same number to merge them.
- Set up merges that lead to further merges for chain reactions and more points.
- Reach 512 to clear extra board space, and keep going as long as you have room.
Tips and tricks
- Keep equal numbers close together. Scattered tiles of the same value are no use to each other.
- Build your big numbers in one area of the board and feed smaller tiles toward them.
- With a two-tile piece, check where both halves land. One half in a bad spot can block a planned merge.
- Leave open cells in the middle of the board. Central cells touch the most neighbors and give the most options.

Frequently asked questions
How do tiles merge in Hexagon?
When tiles showing the same number are adjacent, they merge into one tile of a higher value. New merges can trigger further ones.
What happens when I make 512?
Merging up to 512 clears extra space on the board, giving you more room to continue.
How do I score points in Hexagon?
Every merge earns points, so the more merges you make - especially in chain reactions - the higher your score climbs.
