Hex 10 is a Puzzle Society word game on a board of hexagonal letter tiles, each with a point value. You trace words through neighbouring tiles and try to make the ten highest-scoring words you can from the day's board. It comes with a GoComics subscription, with a new board each day.
About Hex 10
Hex 10 is one of the Puzzle Society games from Andrews McMeel Universal, played on the GoComics puzzle pages. The board is a honeycomb of hexagonal tiles, each holding a letter and a small number for its point value, much like a tile game's letter scores.
The Puzzle Society sums it up in two steps: find the words hidden within the tiles, which is the easy part, and then string them together into ten of the highest-scoring words you can, which is the hard part. Because each hexagon touches six others, a path can bend in many directions, and rare letters such as V, Y or B are worth far more than vowels.
Everyone gets the same board on a given day, so the question each morning is how many points your ten words can reach rather than simply finding words. It suits players of Boggle-style word hunts who like a score to chase.
Hex 10 is part of the GoComics subscription, which also opens the other Puzzle Society games such as Lexigo, Caved and Fliptogram.
How to play Hex 10
- Open Hex 10 on the GoComics puzzles page and sign in with a GoComics subscription.
- Look over the board of hexagonal letter tiles and their point values.
- Trace a word through tiles that touch each other, one letter after the next.
- Keep the words that score best: your result is built from ten high-scoring words.
Tips
- Look for words that pass through the high-value letters before settling for easy short words.
- Longer paths through several tiles usually beat two short words that use the same letters.
- Read around each rare letter in all six directions: a hexagon has more neighbours than a square.
