Hextle is a daily packing puzzle on a small hexagonal board. Each day brings a numbered puzzle with its own set of coloured hex pieces. You drag them into the 19-cell honeycomb until it is full and try to use as few moves as possible. Hints, skips and the archive cost nothing, and hextle.com shows no ads.
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 below the board holds that day's polyhexes, shapes made of a few hexagons joined together, each in its own colour. Some pieces carry dashed cells that mark gaps in the shape.
You drag the pieces onto the board and turn them until every cell is covered with nothing left over. On a computer you turn a piece with a right-click or the R key. On a phone a tap with a second finger does it. The game counts your moves, so lifting a piece back off costs you. The result screen shows your moves, the hints you used and your time, along with a streak and a share button.
Every puzzle is numbered from Hextle #1 on 16 January 2026, so players can compare the same board. The number moves on at midnight on your own clock. Settings holds a Previous Puzzles list and an Endless mode, plus a language picker with 14 languages. On hextle.com the hints, skips and old puzzles are all free, with no ad to watch and no account.
It is a short, quiet daily for people who like pentomino style fitting puzzles in a few minutes. It plays on hextle.com and on its itch.io page, on a phone or a computer, and can be installed as a web app.

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.
