About the game

What you do in a play session

In Lexigons, get ready for a word duel where two wordsmiths battle for control of a constantly shifting hexagonal board. Each letter you place not only claims new ground but also connects with existing letters and opens up fresh paths for even bigger words. But don't think it's just about territory! To score, you need to have the majority of letters in your color within a word. The goal is to build long words, block your opponent's moves, reclaim valuable vowels, and race to be the first to reach 30 points. On this lexical battlefield, every hex has the power to turn the game upside down!

To start, each player chooses a set of 30 letter tiles in a contrasting color and places them face down. Scoring markers begin at zero, and the first player is chosen randomly, placing a random tile from their supply in the center of the board. From there, players take turns. On your turn, you draw a random letter from your supply, place it adjacent to an existing tile on the board, and then look for a word. If you find a valid word (minimum of 4 letters, including the one you just placed, and with a majority of letters in your color), you announce it, score it, and then remove one vowel from that word, returning it face down to your supply. This keeps vowels circulating and the board always dynamic. Scoring is simple: 1 point for each letter in the word. The first player to reach or exceed 30 points is crowned the Lexigons champion!
