LIGATURE: Type Merge
sorts that merge
Only for iPhone

Identical sorts fuse into ligatures. Set the rarest form before the page jams. Free forever — no ads, no tracking.
Identical sorts fuse into ligatures. Swipe, merge, and climb from a single letter to ink — or fill the page and print MISMATCH.
LIGATURE is a typographic merge puzzle: the 2048 loop, set in a beautiful book. Your score is the form you set — not a counter in the corner.
THE JOKE
Matching sorts slide together and become the next form on a printers’ ladder — i, f, fi, fl, ff… all the way toward ink. One page. One stick. One tap to try again.
HOW IT PLAYS
• Swipe to slide every sort on the composing stick
• Same rank + same rank → the next ligature
• POINT SIZE sets density (harder page, not a different game)
• When nothing can move: MISMATCH. — then RESET
TYPE AS SYSTEMS
• Multi-script re-voicings — each writing system has its own form ladder
• Specimen typefaces and paper editions (INK, NIGHT, PHOSPHOR)
• THE PAGE (tight) or THE SPREAD (open form)
• DAILY FORM — one attempt, shared course
HONEST BY DESIGN
• Free forever core — no ads, no tracking, offline-first
• Optional Specimen Book (~$1.99) unlocks the full wardrobe of faces, papers, and THE SPREAD
• Optional Game Center for best form / daily boards
Sister to SNAAAAKE — same house (paper, ink, letterpress red), new joke.
If you love clean puzzles, beautiful type, or “one more swipe,” LIGATURE is the next page.
