Tile Merge

📖 Read the strategy guide ›

Tile Merge is a simple yet addictive number puzzle. Slide every tile on the board in one direction, and when two equal numbers meet they merge into one tile worth double. Keep merging to build bigger and bigger tiles before the board fills up.

How to play

  1. Slide all the tiles up, down, left or right.
  2. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one tile worth twice as much.
  3. A new small tile appears after every move.
  4. Keep merging to reach the highest tile you can.
  5. The game ends when the board is full and no moves are left.

Tips

  • Keep your highest tile tucked in one corner.
