Requirements

You need to have the Gem Cutting technology to do this test. Must be Level 20 or above.

Construction cost

Orienting the play screen so it faces north or south makes it easier for some players in certain light conditions to see the pieces clearly.

Playing a Hexaglyph

Goal

  • Place hexagons together in a grid in such a way that touching sides have matching hieroglyphs. All glyphs must be paired (cannot leave any singletons on the edges).

Controls

  • Grab the edge of a hexagon to rotate it
  • Grab the centre of the hexagon and drag it to move it to a new location

Hexaglyph Locations

  • Green for recognized (passed) puzzles (use "Gr" prefix on pin)
  • Red for unrecognized (unpassed) puzzles (use "Rd" prefix on pin)
