Tips for Playing
- Keep your highest-value butterflies in one corner to maintain control.
- Plan several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with no valid slides.
- Never merge a butterfly if it will block a future combination.
- Focus on creating the next highest number rather than chasing small merges.
- Use the undo button sparingly to learn from your mistakes without losing progress.
