2048 Merge Blocks

Tap any numbered tile and every connected tile with the same number gets highlighted. Tap again and the highlighted group merges into one tile with a higher value. You repeat that to build from 2s and 4s up toward 2048.

Yes. Tiles connect horizontally, vertically and diagonally, so a group of matching numbers can snake across the board in any of those directions. Spotting those diagonal links is how you find bigger merges.

It keeps the number-merging idea and the climb toward 2048, but uses tap-to-merge mechanics. You select a connected group of matching tiles and tap again to combine them, which gives the puzzle a fresh feel.

You begin with simple 2s and 4s and can work up to 2048, then on to massive numbers like 8192 and beyond. The game description names those as milestones, so there is plenty of room to keep climbing.

The more tiles you connect in one merge, the bigger your score. That means waiting to build a larger group of matching numbers usually beats merging the first small pair you spot.
