Key Points
- Rankings are sorted by best completion time for each difficulty and mode combination. Only your single best solve counts.
- Score/s measures your final score divided by solve time - a higher value means faster, more efficient merging.
- Efficiency is the score you earned per move, shown as a percentage (score ÷ moves × 100). A higher figure means each swipe generated more merge points rather than just shuffling tiles, so it runs well above 100%% — the top trophy tiers begin around 7,000%%.
- The Standard leaderboard covers the classic 4×4 grid. Large 5×5 and Expert 6×6 are separate categories with their own rankings - more space, longer runs, and bigger merge chains.
- Rankings reset each season - the leaderboard shows this season's top times only. Past season results are archived.
How to Improve Your 5×5 Rank
The 5×5 grid gives you 25 cells instead of 16, so runs last longer and merge chains run deeper. Top 5×5 times come from holding a stable corner snake across the extra column and row rather than chasing speed early. The 5×5 player pool is smaller than Standard 4×4, so a clean ranked solve often lands a higher percentile here than the same effort on the classic board.
1
Focus on one grid size. Mastering a single grid size (Classic 4×4 to start, Expert 6×6 for veterans) produces faster time improvements than spreading effort across all three. Consistency on one board builds pattern recognition far quicker.
2
Improve your Score/s, not just your time. Score/s is the more honest measure of skill because it normalises for tile-spawn luck. A fast time on a lucky run can still have a poor Score/s. Aim to increase Score/s over time, and better times will follow.
3
Compete on every grid size. The Large 5×5 and Expert 6×6 boards have their own leaderboards and smaller player pools. If you are comfortable planning longer runs, the bigger grids may offer a path to a higher rank percentile.
4
Submit through official gameplay only. Only games completed through the ranked play mode are recorded here. Practice mode runs do not count toward the leaderboard.
Pro Tips
- High efficiency matters more than raw speed at the top. Because efficiency is score per move, chaining several merges in one swipe raises it far faster than swiping quickly does. The strongest runs earn thousands of percent.
- Check the Standard, Large 5×5 and Expert 6×6 tabs for your rank. Many players rank significantly better on one grid size - knowing your comparative strength helps decide where to compete for season rewards.
- Submit a time before the season ends. Season rewards go to the top-ranked players at the cutoff - a single ranked solve secures your season placement even if it is not a personal best.
