What is Hexa Stack Sort?

Hexa Stack Sort (Hexa Sort Puzzle) is a Topological Sorting and Recursive Merging game. The technical core is the "Neighbor-Detection Algorithm": when a stack is placed on a peg, the system checks adjacent pegs for matching "Color IDs." It emphasizes Chain-Reaction Planning and "Stack-Depth Optimization."

Description

Organize stacks of colored hexagonal tiles by moving them between adjacent pegs to trigger merges. Players must plan multiple moves in advance to create chain reactions, optimizing the limited pillar space for large-scale sorting.

How to Play

Drag stacks of colored hexagons onto empty grid pegs. The gameplay is Proximity-Based Sorting: place a color next to an identical color to trigger a "Merge." Interaction involves Numerical Compaction—when 10+ hexagons of the same color stack on one peg, they are "reaped," granting points and clearing space for new moves.

How to Get High Scores in Hexa Stack Sort

High scores depend on "Merge Cascades." The pro secret is "Intermediate Buffering." Don't try to complete a 10-stack immediately. Instead, distribute colors across two or most adjacent pegs to create a "Bridge." When you drop the final piece, it triggers a "Multi-Peg Sweep," clearing 3 or 4 areas in a single move for a massive point multiplier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why didn't the colors merge?

Merging only occurs if the "Top Layer" of the adjacent stack matches the color of the stack you just placed. "Buried" colors do not trigger merges.

Q: What happens when the grid is full?

If every peg is occupied and no "Top-Layer" matches are possible, the logic reaches a "Deadlock," and the game ends.
