About Tile Merge

Slide the tiles, merge equal numbers and build a 2048 tile.

Tile Merge is a number puzzle on a 4x4 board. Every swipe slides all tiles as far as they can go, and two tiles with the same number join into one worth double. A new 2 or 4 appears after each move. Your score grows by the value of every merge, and merging two or more pairs in one move adds a bonus. Reaching 2048 brings a celebration, and you can keep playing for a bigger tile.

The run ends when the board is full and nothing can merge. You get one undo per game, so you can take back a slip or save it for the moment you run out of moves. Banners mark the 256, 512 and 1024 tiles, and the last free cells glow when space runs low. A classic strategy is to keep your biggest tile in one corner and build toward it.
