Read the Goal
Each level displays a collection target — a specific colour or number of merged stacks you must reach.
Move Stacks
Tap and drag a hex stack to an empty slot or onto a compatible stack with matching top tiles.
Trigger Merges
When enough matching tiles align, they merge and disappear, freeing space and counting toward your goal.
Core Mechanics
Stacking: Hex tiles sit in vertical stacks on a honeycomb grid. You can only move the top stack from any column, similar to classic tower puzzles.
Matching: Tiles of the same colour merge when grouped. Plan ahead so you do not bury needed colours beneath others.
Space Management: Empty slots are limited. Running out of moves ends the level — think two or three steps ahead before every drag.
Tips for New Players
Focus on the Goal
Do not merge every colour you see. Prioritise the target colour shown at the top of the screen.
Keep Slots Open
Always maintain at least one empty hex slot. It gives you room to shuffle stacks during tight situations.
Rotate the Board
Use the 3D view to inspect hidden tile colours beneath the top layer before committing to a move.
Power-Ups & Boosters
Hexa Sort offers optional power-ups such as undo moves, extra slots, and colour hints. These can be earned through gameplay or acquired via in-app purchases. They are helpful but never mandatory — skilled sorting alone is enough to progress through most levels.
Progression System
Levels grow gradually harder, introducing new tile colours, tighter space constraints, and multi-step collection goals. Seasonal events and themed collections add variety, giving long-term players fresh boards to tackle without changing the core free-to-play formula.
