About HEX Connect: Hexagonal Mahjong Connect Puzzle

HEX Connect is a hexagonal Mahjong Connect puzzle game where the goal is to clear a large hex grid by linking pairs of identical colored tiles. Rather than the rectangular boards familiar from classic Mahjong Connect, the playing field here is built entirely from hexagonal cells, which reshapes how paths can be drawn and makes spatial reasoning feel genuinely fresh. Several scenes show a large hexagonal play area composed of light grey hexagonal cells. Smaller clusters of orange, green, and blue hexagons appear as selectable game pieces in multiple views of the game. The challenge scales across increasingly difficult levels, keeping the brain-training puzzle experience engaging well beyond the opening stages.

How to Play HEX Connect: Link Pairs to Clear the Board

The objective is to remove every tile from the hex grid by connecting matching pairs. Select one colored tile, then select its identical partner — if a valid path between them exists, both tiles are removed. The critical rule governing every move is that the connecting path may contain no more than two bends. This two-bend limit means not every visible pair can be linked at any given moment; clearing the board requires thinking ahead about which connections to make first. Complete all removals to win the level and advance to increasingly challenging stages.

Controls

• Mouse (Desktop): Click on the first matching tile, then click on its pair to connect and remove them if a valid path exists.
• Touch (Mobile): Tap on the first matching tile, then tap on its pair to connect and remove them if a valid path exists.
