The lesson in words

You win by building an unbroken chain of your stones that touches both of your edges. It doesn’t need to be straight: it can twist any way it likes.

Your chain from top to bottom has one gap.

Try it: Complete your chain.

Any unbroken chain between your edges wins. Next: blocking, and why Hex has no draws.
