How to play

Uncover the secret, hex by hex

  1. Match or discard. On each hex, decide whether the letter is right (match) or wrong (discard).
  2. Read the Pollen. The number in a hex tells you how many correct letters are its neighbors. That is where the deduction comes from, just like Minesweeper.
  3. Mind your petals. A wrong action, match or discard, costs a petal.

Hug teaches it all step by step in Flight Class.

A seven-hex honeycomb: the center shows the number 2 and two neighbors are marked as correct letters. M E L B S A 2
The 2 says: two neighbors hold correct letters.
