How to play
- Swipe or arrow keys push all tiles in that direction.
- Identical colliding values merge into their sum (rules may vary by mode).
- Reach the target value or score before running out of legal moves.
Strategy tips
- Keep your highest tile in a corner you rarely disturb.
- Never trap a large tile away from potential partners.
- Plan two swipes ahead — random spawns punish tunnel vision.
