Merges Numbers

At the center is a 4-by-4 grid of numbered tiles. The portrait board has a wood frame, with green bands, foliage and blue sky around it. Two red 1 tiles sat side by side along the top row in the captured opening arrangement. A left swipe changed the first cell to an orange 2, placed a red 1 in row three, column two, and moved both counters from 0 to 4.

Watch the whole grid when tiles change: the new red 1 appeared away from the original pair, so checking only those cells would miss part of the result. Read the printed numbers as well as the colors; red marked the 1 tiles and orange marked the 2 in the captured board.
