Rules, tips and answers for this free browser mini-game.
Number Merge is an original take on the sliding-number puzzle. Every swipe pushes all sixteen cells in one direction, and tiles showing the same number combine into their double while adding that value to your score. A new tile appears after every successful move, so the board is always filling up faster than you would like. The skill is not in the merging — that part is automatic — it is in keeping the board organised so that a merge is always available when you need one.
Medium — the rules take ten seconds, the strategy takes many runs.
60 to 180 seconds per board.
Every game ends in a position you built yourself, so the next attempt always has an obvious thing to do better. That tight feedback loop is why number-merging puzzles have outlasted almost every mobile trend they were born alongside.
