Woody Hexa

Woody Hexa puts hexagonal blocks on a wooden board and gives you 250 levels to sort them. The task on each one is to arrange the blocks by colour, using drag-and-drop to move them into place, and merging mechanics reward you when matching colours come together.

Hexagons change the feel of a sorting game. Each cell touches six others rather than four, so there are more ways to combine pieces and more ways to block yourself in. The layouts grow increasingly complex as the levels go on, and the developer describes each one as a test of logic and spatial awareness.

The tone is relaxed, with a natural wood look and a satisfying moment every time a merge comes together. With 250 levels, it is a long game you can return to over many sittings, and it is aimed at all ages, so it works as well for a younger player learning to plan ahead as for an adult after a calm brain workout.

1. Look at the colours of the hex blocks on the board.
2. Drag a block to a new position.
3. Bring matching colours together so they merge.
4. Sort the whole board to complete the level.

Plan two moves ahead. On a hex grid, one block can sit next to six others, so check where each piece will end up before you let go.
