How to play Tile Merge

- Build the target tile to clear the level. If no move remains, the attempt ends.
Tile Merge tips for your next round
- Keep the largest tile near one corner and arrange smaller values beside it.
- Leave empty cells so the next new tile does not trap the board.
- Check the direction before moving: a move that changes nothing does not spawn a new tile.
Is Tile Merge a 2048 game?
