Tips & Strategies

Keep your highest tile locked in one corner — never move it away

Build numbers in a snake pattern along the edges of the board

Never swipe in the direction that moves your highest tile out of its corner

Plan 2-3 moves ahead to avoid filling the board with small tiles

Focus on creating one large merge rather than many small ones

Keep the row/column containing your highest tile always full

When the board gets crowded, prioritize creating any merge over a specific one
