Lexagon

About Lexagon

Lexagon gives everyone the same numbered board each day: 19 hexagon tiles, each with a letter. You swipe along adjacent tiles to make words, using each tile only once per word. Below the board, the word bank shows every word in the puzzle as blanks in alphabetical order, which helps you see which lengths and first letters are still missing.

The longest word on the board is the Lexagon, and a clue phrase under the grid hints at it. Every three words you find earns a definition hint, which gives a word's meaning and first letter, and once you find the Lexagon the hints become unlimited, so every puzzle can be finished. Words score by their letters and length, in the manner of Scrabble meets Boggle, and bonus words add more points and gems.

Puzzles are released at 8am CST, and a calendar archive goes back to puzzle #1 in June 2026 and is free to play. You can play as a guest with progress saved in the browser, or create an account to sync it and appear on the per-puzzle, weekly and all-time leaderboards. The site has several themes and a choice of hex or stacked tiles. It is made by @thepianomatt.

Tips
