Game Objective
The goal is simple: find all hidden words in the hexagonal grid. Words are formed by connecting adjacent hexagonal cells tapping or clicking on them in sequence. The more words you find, the higher your score!
Basic Rules
- Minimum Word Length: All valid words must be at least 4 letters long. Three-letter combinations are not counted as words, even if they form valid nouns.
- Words Are Nouns: All hidden words in SEEKWORDS puzzles are nouns only. Verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and other parts of speech are not included.
- Adjacent Cells: Words are formed by connecting adjacent hexagonal cells (cells that share an edge).
- Path Selection: Click or tap cells in sequence to form a word path.

- Formula: Score = (Word Length Ă— Difficulty Percentage)
Finding a 6-letter word at 50% difficulty = 3 points
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is my score calculated?
Your score equals the number of letters in each word multiplied by your difficulty percentage. For example, a 5-letter word at 80% difficulty = 4 points (5 Ă— 0.80).
What happens if I leave mid-game?
Your progress is automatically saved! You can return anytime to continue from where you left off.
Can I change difficulty during a game?
Yes! Click the difficulty badge in the header to adjust the difficulty level. Note that changing difficulty will affect your scoring.
