Hexes (Three Emojis)

About Hexes (Three Emojis)

Hexes follows the familiar Spelling Bee format with a few differences. Words need only be two letters long, must contain the centre letter, and may reuse letters. Each puzzle has dozens of possible words, from everyday vocabulary to rarer finds, and the word list scrolls with arrows that can jump to the next word you have not found. Each word in the list is shown as a row of blanks next to three emoji that hint at it, and a hint button gives a further clue about a missing word.

The English puzzles accept American spellings only, and the German puzzles use standard German spelling. Proper nouns, vulgar words and obsolete terms are filtered out, while some common slang, acronyms and abbreviations are kept on purpose. Players can flag words that should not be there.

Each day's puzzle has its own dated page, and paid members can replay every previous daily from the archive. Three Emojis also makes Globs and Scrambled. Hexes suits Spelling Bee fans, including German speakers looking for a version in their language.

How to play Hexes (Three Emojis)

1. Open today's puzzle in English or German.
2. Type or tap letters to make a word of two or more letters that includes the centre letter.
3. Reuse letters as often as you like.
4. Find the pangram that uses all seven letters for bonus points.

Tips

• Look for common endings like -ED, -ING or -ER with the centre letter.
• Try two-letter words early; they count here.
• Hunt for the pangram by combining the rarest letters first.
• Use the double arrows to jump to the next unfound word as a reminder of length.
