Overview

make7 turns column-drops into number merges where planning lanes matters as much as arithmetic. Discs fall, numbers add, and your aim is to compose stable stacks that produce 7s without clogging the board. The trick is staging: build sums in adjacent columns, avoid tall singles that waste opportunities, and use temporary holds to line up clean merges. Visual clarity helps you see opportunities early, and feedback is honest—overfill says you chained poorly, off-target sums suggest a lane needed a smaller precursor. The cadence is satisfying: set, drop, merge, reassess. Wins feel authored because the board opens from disciplined planning rather than lucky spawns.

Play brief

Plan lanes before drops. Stage small precursors across adjacent columns so sums build cleanly toward 7, and avoid tall singles that waste merge chances. Use temporary holds to line up exact merges, then release when two or three discs can combine in sequence. Keep columns balanced; uneven stacks clog routes and force off‑target sums. After every combine, reassess lanes—open space where future merges will land—and adjust staging rather than dropping reactively. Favor chain setups over single hits: composed sequences produce 7s without gridlock. If clogs form, reset with a simple chain to reopen space, then resume disciplined staging.

Field notes

Plan chains, not singles. Keep columns balanced. Use small precursors to set larger sums cleanly.
