Five chapters
From eight by eight to twenty by twenty
Within each chapter, the board grows level by level, reaching a milestone on the fifteenth. Then it scales back for a moment, so the next chapter feels like a fresh start. The board gets bigger and more spacious, with density dropping from about 45 to 25 percent.
- Chapter 1
8×8 → 11×11
6 → 9 words
Getting started. Short words and plenty of breathing room on the board.
- Chapter 2
10×10 → 13×13
8 → 11 words
The board grows and the words get longer.
- Chapter 3
12×12 → 15×15
10 → 13 words
Halfway there: the first boards that invite you to settle in for a while.
- Chapter 4
14×14 → 17×17
12 → 15 words
Roomier and fuller at once: density drops as the board grows.
- Chapter 5
16×16 → 20×20
14 → 18 words
The final chapter, with a golden milestone seal at level 75.
The word count follows the board size: words = board − 2. Winding words stop at a board size of sixteen, while the honeycomb counts by hive sides and grows from six to nine.
