2-4-8 : link identical numbers

Numbers multiply fast in 2-4-8: Link Identical Numbers. Draw a path between matching values on the grid and watch them collapse into something larger — a 2 becomes a 4, a 4 becomes an 8, and suddenly you're chasing chains you didn't plan for.

There's a quiet satisfaction to spotting a long run of identical dots before anyone else might. The board rewards spatial thinking more than speed, so the best moves often come from pausing rather than rushing. Merging five or six numbers in a single sweep feels genuinely earned.

The challenge deepens not because the rules change, but because the grid fills up in ways that punish careless linking. Every connection reshapes what's possible next, which means a single greedy move can close off three better ones you hadn't noticed yet.
