If you're a fan of word games along the lines of Scrabble, then you'll get a kick out of Triplezero's Hexiled. In this game, you'll work your way out of a universal grid of letters by forming together words of three letters or more. As you take out letters, you open up a galactic space, making it easier to get around the board and see what else needs to be removed within the allowed time limit.
Here are some tips that'll have you spelling like a champ in Hexiled!
Keep two things in mind, though. First, you can't just remove any words on the board. There has to be at least one letter that is tied in with one of the open spaces on the board, so you can increase its ratio. Second, you can't start words with darker letters on the board, but you can use them in the continuation of a word. You'll get used to this process after a few rounds.
The second mode is Explored, a relaxed word hunt mode where you can move along at your own pace. It'll unlock automatically after you play 500 rounds, or you can purchase the "Unlock Everything" option up front.
Finally, Survive has you working your way frantically through letters before you're blown to bits by lurking dangers. You can unlock this mode after 100 games, or by making an in-app purchase.
