Playing a Hexaglyph

Controls

• Grab the edge of a hexagon to rotate it
• Grab the centre of the hexagon and drag it to move it to a new location

Hexaglyph Locations

• Green for recognized (passed) puzzles (use "Gr" prefix on pin)
• Red for unrecognized (unpassed) puzzles (use "Rd" prefix on pin)
