THE RULES IN ONE PLACE

Space matters.

A newly merged tile cannot merge again in the same move. A move that changes nothing adds no new tile. A full board can still have a legal merge.

YOUR BOARD, YOUR BROWSER

Keep this tab’s progress.

The game saves its board and best score locally when storage works. A different host, browser profile or private session has separate storage. This version has no undo or normal export menu.
