This is a hexagon tiling puzzle. The missing piece must exactly match the white shape inside the honeycomb when rotated if necessary.

Key observations 🔎

The empty space has 6 hexagons.

The shape looks like an “X / butterfly” style layout:

Two hexagons extend left and right.

Two extend diagonally upward.

One extends downward.

Checking the options

1–4 → Wrong shapes or incorrect connections.

5 & 6 → Too compact and don’t match the arms of the gap.

8 → Wrong orientation and extra clustering.

7 → Has the same 6-hexagon “X” structure as the gap.

If you rotate Option 7, it perfectly fits the missing honeycomb shape.

✅ Correct answer: 7

🐝 Fun detail: When placed, the honeycomb pattern forms a symmetrical figure, which matches the clue “who walks by your side.”
