About Hextle

Hextle is a browser puzzle by Laeto Studio that gives you one packing problem a day. The board is always the same shape, a honeycomb of 19 hexagonal cells, but the pieces change: a tray at the bottom holds that day's polyhexes, shapes made of a few hexagons joined together, each in its own colour.

You drag the pieces onto the board and turn them until every cell is covered with nothing left over. The game counts your moves, so lifting a piece back off and trying again costs you. A finished puzzle shows the honeycomb filled in blocks of colour, and your result records how many moves it took and how many hints you used.

Every puzzle is numbered, starting from Hextle #1 on 16 January 2026, so players can compare the same board. The number moves on at midnight on your own clock. Past puzzles sit in a Previous Puzzles list, and there is also an Endless mode for extra boards; unlocking an old puzzle or skipping one is done by watching a short ad.

It is a short, quiet daily for people who like tangram or pentomino style fitting puzzles but want something that takes a few minutes. It plays on hextle.com and inside its itch.io page, on a phone or a computer.

How to play Hextle

3. Drag a piece onto the board and rotate it until it sits where you want it.

Tips

• Start with the longest or most awkward piece: it has the fewest places it can go.
• The six corner cells of the honeycomb are the hardest to reach, so plan which pieces will fill them first.
• Work it out before you drop a piece; every lift and replace adds to your move count.
