Hex Away

Hex Away is a puzzle experience built around clearing groups of hexagonal tiles from the board. The core mechanic is straightforward: tap any cluster of two or more adjacent hexagons of the same color to remove them. This simple action is the foundation for a game that gradually introduces layered challenges, making every level feel like a fresh mental exercise. What sets Hex Away apart is its balance of accessibility and depth. The early levels introduce the basics gently, while later stages require careful planning and pattern recognition. You'll need to think ahead to avoid leaving isolated tiles that can't be cleared, and the finite number of moves adds a satisfying strategic pressure. The clean visual design and smooth interactions create a focused, rewarding loop that suits both short breaks and longer play sessions.

What is Hex Away

A color-matching puzzle where clearing hexagons is just the beginning. Each level tests your ability to plan moves and see the bigger picture.

How to Play

Tap any group of two or more adjacent hexagons that share the same color to remove them from the board. Work to clear all tiles within the given number of moves.

Tips for Playing

  • Prioritize large clusters to earn higher scores and clear more space.
  • Plan your moves several steps ahead to avoid isolating single hexagons.
  • Use the entire move count wisely; unnecessary taps can waste useful moves.
  • Watch for color patterns that can create cascading clears by removing connections.
  • Take a moment to scan the board before making a move, especially on complex levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I can't clear all hexagons?

If no moves are available or you run out of moves, the level fails, and you'll need to retry.

How do I get a higher score?

Clearing larger groups of hexagons in a single tap yields more points, so look for big clusters.

Is there a time limit?

No, the game is turn-based, so you can think at your own pace. The only limit is the move count.

Can I undo a move?

The game does not have an undo feature, so choose your taps carefully.

What is the maximum number of moves per level?

The move limit varies by level, usually giving just enough to clear all hexagons if you're efficient.

Do the hexagons have different shapes?

All tiles are hexagonal, but their colors and positions create unique patterns on each board.
