<h3><strong>Rules</strong></h3><p>Find 10 words on a hexagonal 7x7 grid. Easy, right? Well, kind of—until you try to meet our “par” of 1,000 points using those 10 words.</p><p>Hex 10 is fast and fun, but also requires a bit of tactical thinking. Complete awareness of the scoring system, the X-out feature, and the bonus multipliers help.&nbsp;</p><p>The basics are simple: Build words by dragging your mouse or finger from tile to adjacent tile. Release your finger or mouse when you’ve completed a word. If it is valid, you will receive the total points for that word added to your score.&nbsp;</p><p>Valid words must be a minimum of four letters in length. Please note that the “QU” tile counts as two letters.&nbsp;</p><p>The game’s dictionary is based on the common English language. No profanity or proper nouns are allowed. If you see a word that you believe is missing, <a href="https://support.puzzlesociety.com/hc/en-us">send a note to our Customer Care</a>.</p><p>When you have built your 10th and final word, the level ends and your score is locked into the Puzzle Society records and leaderboards. (Did we mention that this is a perfect game to compete with your friends? <a href="https://www.puzzlesociety.com/my-society/friends">Get your leaderboard up and running</a>!)</p><p><strong>Tip</strong>: Make sure you scan the board before you finalize your 10th word because once you finalize that word, the level is over and you can’t use the X out feature.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3><strong>How Scoring Works</strong></h3><p>Each letter in Hex 10 has a point value in the bottom right-hand corner. The score you receive for a valid word you build is the sum total of those tiles.&nbsp;</p><p>The twist is that the first and second time you use a letter, the value of that letter tile doubles.&nbsp;</p><p>Here’s an example: You create the word BEAR, which doubles the value of the letter “B” from 3 to 6. If you create another word using that same “B”, the value of the “B” tile doubles again from 6 to 12. It will no longer double after this third usage.&nbsp;</p><p>To help you get started, we pre-select two letters each day and double their value. (They’re highlighted in blue.) You can consider these free hints as to where you might want to begin playing words.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>How to X Out Words&nbsp;</strong></h3><p>It is common to experience buyer’s remorse in Hex 10, e.g., seeing bigger and better words after you’ve already built a few words.&nbsp;</p><p>If you’re not happy with a word or multiple words you have created, you can click the “X” button to the right of each word you want to remove it. Don’t worry, the game will automatically recalculate your score, including any multipliers that word provided.</p><p>Xing out words is free of charge, meaning it will not penalize your score or its validity for the leaderboard or Puzzle Society records.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Starter Letters</strong></h3><p>To create a little bit of early momentum and focus, Hex 10 highlights two or more letters on the grid every day, and doubles these letters’ value. These two letters are chosen because they feature in a number of words that can be built.&nbsp;</p><p>Buyer beware! Their presence does not mean these are the highest-scoring words in the level.&nbsp;</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3><strong>Bonus Multipliers</strong></h3><p>Hex 10 rewards you for building longer words and certain types of special words with multiplier bonuses that double, triple, or even quintuple the points you get for a valid word.</p><p>Here is a complete list of bonus multipliers in the game:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Palindrome: 5x</li><li>Five-letter word: 3x</li><li>Six-letter word: 4x</li><li>Seven-letter word: 5x</li><li>Eight-letter word: 6x</li><li>Nine-letter word: 7x</li><li>10-letter word: 10x</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Word Lists</strong></h3><p>If you’d like to review the complete list of words in the day’s puzzle, close the win/completion screen by clicking the close icon in the top right-hand corner.&nbsp;</p><p>You will see each and every valid word that you could have created, sorted by word length.</p>
