Rules & FAQ

How to Play

Find every main word in the board to complete the path and collect the Prism, stacking up points and gems along the way.

1

Swipe along adjacent tiles to form words. Each tile can only be used once per word. The word bank below has a dot for every word, shortest words first.

2

The LEXAGON is the longest word on the board. A Clue phrase below the grid will guide you to it. Finding the LEXAGON will unlock unlimited hints, guiding you to the finish and earning extra gems.

3

Definition hints are there for when you get stuck - giving you the definition of a word and its first letter. Every nine letters you find will earn a hint. You can also buy more hints with your gems. Once you find the Lexagon, unlimited definition hints unlock.

4

Every word you find moves you along the PATH around the board. Every corner unlocks a new booster to help you along your way. Complete the entire path to carve out the Prism of the board, and collect it.

Scoring

Points
Every word has a point value based on its length - think Scrabble meets Boggle. Longer words are worth exponentially more points!
Bonus Words
Every puzzle has bonus words included, which increase your score and count toward earning more definition hints.
Gems
Earn Gems by finding the LEXAGON and by clearing the 19 hexagon tiles. Every unused definition hint that you've earned also converts to a gem. Finding bonus words also adds to this total.
