Ekkodle
Ekkodle is a daily hand-drawn hex trail puzzle where you must find the hidden 6-cell path that starts at the red dot using up to six turns, with a new puzzle each day and increasing difficulty across the week.
Play EkkodleA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Ekkodle challenges you to discover a hidden trail on a hex grid that always begins at the red start dot and is exactly six cells long. You have six turns to probe cells and receive feedback flags that indicate whether a checked cell is the right spot in the path, a wrong spot, or not in the path at all. The interface shows turns used and offers on-map checking and clearing controls.
The site provides two hint options during a game: a single-cell hint that consumes one turn, and an option to reveal the last cell of the path that consumes two turns. The puzzles are hand-drawn and presented as a fresh daily challenge; the difficulty ramps up from Monday through Sunday so later-week puzzles are harder by design.
Ekkodle’s interface supports tapping the puzzle image to replay it and includes simple social features to invite friends or copy an invite. The game displays feedback after each check and tracks your remaining turns; you can also clear checks and create links while playing.
How to play Ekkodle
- Open Ekkodle and observe the red start dot to know where the hidden trail begins.
- Check a cell on the hex map to see whether it is in the path, in the path but the wrong spot, or the correct spot.
- Use at most six turns to identify the six-cell path that starts at the red dot.
- If stuck, request a hint which uses one turn, or reveal the last cell which uses two turns.
Tips for Ekkodle
- Prioritize checking cells adjacent to the red start dot because the path extends from that location.
- Use the single-cell hint sparingly; it costs one of your six turns and can prevent wasted checks.
- If you have multiple candidate routes late in the game, use the reveal-last-cell option only when you can no longer deduce the final segment because it costs two turns.
- Clear accidental checks before proceeding to keep the map readable and avoid misinterpreting feedback.
