Puzzle · Merge
Merge Drop
Drop tiles into columns. Matching neighbours combine into double the value. Chain merges for big scores before the board fills.
How to play Merge Drop
Choose a column and drop the current tile. It lands on top of whatever is already there. When two tiles of the same value sit next to each other (side by side or stacked), they merge into one tile with double the value.
Merges can chain: a new 8 can immediately merge with another 8, and so on. The game ends when a tile reaches the top of the board.

Scoring
Each merge awards points equal to the new tile’s value. Higher merges are worth more, so setting up chains pays off.
Tips
- Watch the “Next” tile so you can plan the column that benefits both pieces.
- Keep high-value tiles toward the centre where they have more neighbours.
- Avoid filling a column to the top unless a merge will clear space right away.
