Hexa Sort

Hexa Sort is a calm sorting puzzle on a hexagonal board. Place stacks of coloured hexagon tiles on empty cells. When touching stacks have the same colour on top, a run of that colour moves onto the stack with the longer run, and ten tiles of one colour in a row on top of a stack are cleared. Clear the goal number of stacks before the board fills up. Later levels add more colours. Play Hexa Sort free online in your browser — no download or sign-up needed.

How to Play Hexa Sort

Objective

Clear the goal number of stacks of ten matching tiles.

Starting a game

Three stacks wait below the board. Pick one and place it on any empty hexagon.

Rules

  • Touching stacks with the same top colour trade: the whole run of that colour moves onto the stack with the longer run (a tie goes to the taller stack).
  • Trades repeat until nothing more can move.
  • Ten or more tiles of one colour on top of a stack are cleared.
  • When all three stacks are placed, three new ones arrive.

Winning and losing

You win a level when you have cleared its goal number of stacks. You lose when the board is full.

Tips and Strategies

  • Put stacks next to matching colours so runs combine.
  • Keep empty cells in reserve; a full board ends the level.
  • Think about what colour is revealed when a run moves away.
  • Build one big run of a colour next to a stack that will receive it.
  • Plan the order of the three stacks before you place the first.
