How to play Axiom
Every Axiom game works the same way: pick it, learn it in a minute, then play level after level.
Fifteen different puzzles share one simple routine. Here it is, in about a minute.
The basics
The basics
Five things that work the same in every game.
1. Pick a game on the home page or in the Games menu.
2. Choose a difficulty, and a mode where the game has one, then play the next level.
3. Stuck? Press Hint or the H key for a concrete next step.
4. Undo, redo and restart freely. An unfinished level is saved when you leave.
5. Every game has one daily puzzle, the same for everyone, new at 00:00 UTC.
