About game
Connecting letters on a hexagonal grid turns Fillword Islands into a fresh take on the classic word search genre. You navigate through tropical landscapes while hunting for hidden terms across six distinct directions. Every grid requires sharp eyes to spot words that snake around the corners of these vibrant digital islands. Finding bonus terms earns you extra points, helping you climb the ranks on the global leaderboard. You get to collect up to thirty unique maps as you progress through increasingly complex word puzzles. Each island you conquer adds to your personal collection, giving you a sense of accomplishment after every session. Sharing your favorite island design allows friends and rivals to see your progress during their own exploration. You can start this brain training journey right now in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
The goal of the game is to find all hidden words on the hexagonal grid. To form a word, press and hold on the first letter and drag through adjacent cells in any of the six directions.
At the top of the screen, you can see the list of words you need to find. Some words are initially hidden and shown only as dots corresponding to the number of letters.
If you're stuck, use the hint buttons: "Reveal one letter" or "Reveal the entire word".
Finding bonus words not included in the main puzzle rewards extra XP. The amount of XP depends on the word's length.
Once all words on the field are found, a new section of the island will be unlocked. The higher the island's difficulty, the smaller the area you open.
Unlocked islands are saved in your collection (up to 30 most recent). You can choose one Favorite Island, which other players will be able to see in the global leaderboard.
The first islands are the same for all players. From the 10th island, each player receives unique ones.
