Hexaword
A daily English word puzzle in which six word fragments must be arranged into a target hexagonal shape.
Players drag the pieces into place so adjacent fragments form words from left to right. The submission describes generating puzzles by matching a directed word-fragment graph to a hexagonal layout, with React and dnd-kit for interaction and Redis for solve records.
The combination of word formation and spatial layout is the central mechanic. Algorithm details, fastest-time storage, and daily operation are submission claims; the game and code have not been independently tested.

作品是什么
Hexaword 是把六块词片排成目标六边形形状的每日英语拼词谜题。
给谁用
喜欢英语拼词、拖放和每日谜题的玩家；依据玩法归纳。
问题或体验
作者尝试把词片组合做成比语义词链更清楚的每日谜题；并非商业痛点。
如何使用
每天给出六块词片与目标形状，拖放排列；相邻词片从左到右必须能组成词。依据投稿，未试玩。
得到什么
完成当日词片布局；作者称后端保存最快解题记录。
关键机制
作者用词片有向图与六边形布局图匹配生成谜题，以 React/dnd-kit 做拖放、Redis 保存解题记录。
特点
一局同时满足拼词和形状两种约束，采用六边形布局而非单词列表。
