Hexagon word puzzles: words in a honeycomb
In Bendwords Hexagons, the letters sit in a honeycomb of hexagon cells inside one big hexagon. Words bend from cell to cell, and every letter belongs to exactly one word.
How the hexagons grid works
Each hexagon touches up to six others, so a word can turn in more directions than on a square grid. That makes hexagon puzzles feel more open: there are more possible paths, and finding the one that fits is the fun. The edges and corners of the big hexagon have fewer neighbors, so start there.
