## What is Hexagonal 2x48?

2048 merging and 2248 connecting, with a hexagonal twist.

FOUR WAYS TO MERGE
• Classic: combine equal pairs, starting at 1 and working toward 2048 and beyond.
• Triple Merge: line up three equal numbers to merge them. Aim for 2187.
• Fibonacci: combine consecutive Fibonacci numbers: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… Matching 1s merge too.
• Connect 2248: start with two equal neighbors, then connect equal or double values. Release to merge the chain and pursue the next milestone.

PUZZLES AND DUAL BOARDS
Eight puzzles use fixed openings, obstacles, marked goals and move limits. Four dual-board challenges move both boards with a single swipe. No random tiles appear in these challenges. Every level is available from the start.

REPLAYS AND VIDEO SHARING
Open Replay and Save to step through moves, play or pause at 0.5×–4× speed, and toggle sound. Full replays include undos and power-ups. Save one to My Replays to watch it again or delete it later, and completed challenge routes can be replayed too.
Export a replay to Photos or send it with the system share sheet. Videos include game sounds, tool highlights and a result card; saving to Photos asks for add-only photo permission. Replays from older saves appear as a partial replay or a board snapshot when the opening record is missing.

ROOM FOR A DIFFERENT STRATEGY
Choose from several board sizes and shapes. Rotate the board by 60 degrees, undo a move, or use Swap, Shuffle, Hammer and Bridge. Each tool has one free use per game; further uses cost energy earned through play. Swap must first be unlocked. Optional Magic Numbers add surprise effects that you can accept or resist when eligible.

SHOP AND OPTIONAL ENERGY TANKS
Open Shop in Game Hub (right-side toolbar on iPhone Duo) for the one-time feature unlock and all four energy tanks, with local App Store prices. Buy a tank for any mode at any time, even with full base energy. Each tank holds 6 energy units and automatically covers the shortfall; tanks stack. A purchase only adds energy: it never uses a tool, revives a game or unlocks a feature. Energy tanks are optional, and the game is fully playable without buying them.
Stored energy is kept separately for each mode on this device only. It does not sync across devices and cannot be restored after deleting the app or changing devices; Undo does not refund spent energy.

YOUR GAME, YOUR PACE
Each mode and board combination keeps its own local save and best score. Resume after switching modes or reopening the app. Choose Cream Coral, Forest Green or Sky & Orange, with five sound styles, four haptic styles and separate sound volume. Sounds are off by default.

ENGLISH AND SIMPLIFIED CHINESE
Choose System Default, English or Simplified Chinese in Settings. Language changes apply immediately and are saved without changing your games or scores. Menus, tutorials, rules and accessibility labels are localized.

FREE TO PLAY, OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Earn Advanced Start with a Classic best score above 600; earn 5 undos per game above 1200; earn Swap with any Free Play best score above 1600. You can also unlock all three with one optional, permanent purchase, and Restore Purchases uses the original Apple Account. Five undos apply automatically once unlocked. Challenge rules stay the same, and Undo does not refund tool costs. Energy tanks are optional consumables; their balance is stored on this device only and is not returned by Restore Purchases. There is no subscription.

OFFLINE PLAY, NO ADS
No game account is required. Basic gameplay works offline, with no ads or third-party analytics SDKs. Games and scores stay on your device. Product information, purchases and restores use Apple services and require an internet connection.

IPHONE DUO SUPPORT
Adaptive layouts for iPhone Duo inner and outer displays. Expanded play gives boards and controls more room; boards avoid system-reported fold divisions. Also supports iPhone and iPad.
