HexaLex is a Scrabble like word game that is played out on a hexagon shaped board with hexagon tiles. You are given seven letter tiles and asked to make a word. Given the shape of the board it’s possible to end up with more than one word per play. Points are tabulated for the different words and medals are unlocked for different achievements. When it is your turn there is a dictionary button that will allow you to type in a word and check to see if it is valid or not. I appreciated this feature because I’m often spelling out words only to discover that they’re only real words in my Heather language. Basically they are words that no one else would ever think to use. Anytime or anywhere.
HexaLex allows you to play a game against up to four computer opponents or you can set up an account to play online with friends. This is one of my favorite features. My other favorite feature is that you do not have to drag tiles to the spot where you’d like them on the board. Instead you tap on a space and then tap on the tile that you want in that space. The app will arrange it for you without the dragging. Since my dragging always ended up in the wrong spot this is a big improvement for me.
The entire game play experience for HexaLex is very smooth. The graphics are perfectly suited and it’s a fantastic and challenging word game. If you like Scrabble and Words with Friends you’ll want to give HexaLex a try.
