3072

Follow the doubling ladder from 3 to 3072. Equal tiles still merge, but the values run 3, 6, 12, 24 and onward instead of starting at 2. This is an equal-tile 2048 variant.

The rules of 3072

• Board: sixteen cells in four rows and four columns.
• New tiles: 3s (90%) and 6s (10%).
• Merges: Double equal numbers; 3 + 3 makes 6, and 6 + 6 makes 12.
• Goal: reach 3072.
• A blocked move does not add a tile or count as a move.

Read one move

A left move transforms this row as shown, before the next tile appears elsewhere on the board:

Before: 3 3 6 .
After:  6 6 . .

Each tile can merge once per move. A tile just created by a merge cannot immediately join another tile during the same swipe.

A useful first exercise

A 3 and a 6 cannot merge. Read the numbers before moving; the familiar tile pictures represent progress ranks, not a replacement for the printed values. The controls and board size stay the same.

Try translating a Classic example by multiplying every tile by 1.5. Its positions and legal merges carry over; its score and winning value use the new number ladder.

Controls and saved rounds

Choose Start your trail, then use arrow keys, board swipes or the four direction buttons. Trail tip suggests a legal direction without changing the board. End round records an early stop; after an ending, New trail prepares another attempt. Your unfinished round and this mode's best score stay in this browser when storage is available. Changing a theme does not change a tile.
