Stack hexagon tiles by colour until they merge and clear
14:36A slow sorting puzzle that clicks when you realize the stacks are layered, and stalls when the board fills.

Hexa Sort hands you stacks of colored hexagon tiles and a small board, and asks you to put like next to like. When enough of one color touches, the tiles slide onto one pile and clear. The first few placements felt like nothing was happening; then two stacks flowed together with that soft click and I understood what I was building toward.
The trick is that stacks are layered. The color on top isn't the whole story, and a good placement sets up a second merge once the top layer clears. So you start reading stacks like cores, planning two moves ahead, and the board's few open spaces become the resource you're really managing. Levels give you collection goals, boosters show up when things get tight, and the pace is entirely yours.
Complaints: it's slow by design, and if you want feedback every second this will feel like watching paint sort itself. The later boards get cramped fast, and I lost a couple of them because the game dealt me colors that had nowhere to go. The boosters get offered a lot when you're stuck.
Play it if you like quiet, spatial puzzles you can leave and come back to. Skip it if you need speed or a score that climbs in real time.
A relaxing brain puzzle game where you sort hexagon tiles by color and merge them together.
Hexa Sort was published on YouTube Playables on 2026-08-04 by Play Land. In 67 days it has reached about 89K plays.
Hexa Sort asks you to place stacks of coloured hexagons on a board so that like colours end up together. When enough of one colour meets, the stack merges and clears space for whatever comes next.
Nothing is pushing you along, so it works as a slow puzzle you think through at your own pace, and a bad placement costs room rather than a run. It plays free inside YouTube with no download, which suits it for short breaks.
How to play: Drag each stack onto the board and group matching colours to merge them.
Good for: relaxed puzzles, short breaks
The color on top of a stack is what merges, but the layers underneath decide what the space is worth once the top clears.
If you've played Water Sort or Ball Sort, you know the rhythm: move one thing, uncover what's underneath, plan around it. Hexa Sort takes that and puts it on a board instead of in tubes, so position matters as much as order. That's the big difference. In Water Sort a wrong pour costs you a move; here a wrong placement costs you a space, and spaces are what you run out of. It's also more forgiving in one way, since merges happen automatically when colors touch and there's no timer. I find it calmer than Water Sort and harder to master.
People look for Hexa Sort promo codes and content creator codes. Those belong to the mobile app's shop, and nothing like that exists inside the YouTube version; there's no code box to type into. The same goes for cheats. What actually helps is slower: read the lower layers of every stack, keep a space open, and use the boosters only when a level is otherwise lost. That got me through boards I'd have called impossible on the first look. If you want the app's codes, the app is where to look; here the game is just the game.
