To Play this Game click your brain cells into gear for this mind-bending matching game. Connect three or more hexes of the same color to clear them from the game board and score more Points. You can also rotate cluster of three hexagons, to match the case. If, during the course of the cluster’s 360-degree rotation, any of the hexagons touch two or more matching hexagons on two sides, the newly-matched cluster will disappear from the board. Scoring Points are awarded based on how many total clusters, Star Hexes, and Gold Stars are cleared. But whatever you do, keep an eye out for…THE BOMB! When it shows up you only have nine moves to clear it from the board or it’s game over! If you clear a bomb with a Star Hex, all hexes on the game board of the same color disappear! For every Hex Flower created (6 hexes cleared) a Gold Star appears. These Gold Stars can rotate every piece they are touching, so use them to boost your score.

Scoring In Hextwist depends upon the clusters cleared and bonus of pieces cleared. The score is also based on the size of the clusters.
3 hex cluster = 5 points
4 hex cluster = 10 points
5 hex cluster = 15 points
6 hex cluster (a "Hex Flower") = 100 points

Once the base for the cluster is determined, it is multiplied by the current level. For example, a cluster of three hexes on level two is worth a base of 10 points while a Hex Flower cleared on level three is worth 300 points.
