How do I play?
Most hexes are already in the right place in a smooth gradient. Find the ones that are out of place and swap them: tap one, then the other, or drag one onto the other. A swap that puts nothing in its place bounces back, and still costs a swap.
What are the dotted tiles?
Guide tiles. They never move, so use them to see where the gradient is going.
How do stars work?
Solve a level in the fewest possible swaps for three stars; a couple of extra swaps still gets two.
What happens if I run out of swaps?
You can try again, take +3 swaps from a rescue, or spend Hex Coins to continue. Your first rescue is free.
What are boosters?
Fix puts one wrong tile home without using a swap. Reveal lights up every wrong tile for three seconds. +3 gives you three more swaps. You get them from the daily gift, world chests, win streaks and bonus rounds, or buy them with Hex Coins.
What is Hex Plus?
An optional subscription: no ads between levels, a free booster every day, double rewards from chests and the daily gift, 5 free rescues a day when you run out, two exclusive tile styles and every past Daily.
Is Hex free?
Yes. Every game and level is free. Hex Coins packs, Hex Plus and Remove ads are optional.
How do I keep my progress on every device?
Sign in: open Settings → Sign in and continue with Google, or with Apple in the iPhone app. Your stars, coins and boosters then follow you to any phone or browser. Without signing in you play as a guest: your progress stays in that browser, and your coins add up but cannot be spent until you sign in.
How do I share my Daily?
Finish today's Daily and tap Share your Daily. Pick a place (Facebook, X, WhatsApp, Reddit, or copy the link), or "More…" for your phone's own share sheet. The link shows a card with your score, and opens the same board for whoever taps it.
What do I get for inviting a friend?
Open Friends and tap Invite a friend to share your link. When a new player joins through it and finishes their first Daily, you each get a Reveal booster.
How do I restore a purchase on a new phone?
Open Settings → Restore purchases, signed in to the same Apple or Google account you bought with. For a purchase made on the website, sign in with the same account; if something is missing, email support@theyardapps.com with your receipt.
Does Hex work offline?
Yes. Everything except online features (cloud save, leaderboards, friends, sharing) works without a connection. Coins you earn offline are credited when you are back online.
