A number-merging puzzle in the lineage of 2048, which is a well-understood and genuinely good structure: equal numbers combine into their double, the board refills as you play, and you lose when there is nowhere left to put anything. The skill is board management rather than arithmetic. That skill is specific and learnable. The standard discipline — keep your largest number anchored in a corner, never break the row holding it, and merge along one axis as much as possible — turns a game that feels luck-driven into one where most losses are traceable to a careless move twenty turns earlier. Getting good at it is mostly about refusing the move that looks convenient. What this version adds is a longer tail and some quality-of-life around it: undo is available, the board state is saved, and the presentation stays legible as the numbers get long. It is a thinking game with no time pressure, which makes it suit a phone and a spare few minutes better than almost anything else in the genre. Sessions end when you want them to.

How to play Merge Infinity
- Keep your highest number in a corner and never move it out.
- Merge along one axis as much as possible to keep the board ordered.
- Avoid the move that fills your anchored row, even when it scores.
- Build an ordered chain down from your largest number so merges cascade.
- Use undo to learn which moves cause trouble, then stop needing it.
Tips
- Most losses come from a convenient move made twenty turns before the board jammed.
- A corner anchor is not optional above a certain score; it is the whole strategy.
- There is no timer, so there is no reason to move before you have looked.
