What happens when four blocks touch?

A group of four equal blocks merges into one block worth four times the number.

Is the order of blocks random?

Each game has its own random order, which gets bigger numbers as the stack's largest block grows.

Use Tab to move between the column buttons and Enter or Space to fire.

Fire numbered blocks up a column. Equal blocks that touch merge and double, and chains build big scores. Keep the stack from reaching you.

The block shown as Next is fired up the column whose arrow you tap, and sticks to the ceiling or to the blocks already there.
Blocks with the same number that touch, sideways or above and below, merge into one. Two make a block of double the number.
Merges can set off more merges as blocks close up, and each step of a chain scores more.
The stack grows down from the ceiling. If it reaches the row at the bottom the game is over. Your best score is saved on this device.

Look at Then as well as Next. Setting up a place for the second block is worth a move.
Keep the stack as even as you can, so no column gets near the bottom.
Big numbers beside each other are hard to move, so merge them while the groups are small.
A column that is one block short of a merge is a good place for a block that matches it.
