Your Burning Questions, Answered

Is there a trick to winning at Merge fruits: Fold the Watermelon!?

While there's no single magic bullet, a solid strategy makes all the difference. The pros focus on keeping smaller fruits like grapes and cherries grouped together at the bottom, creating a stable foundation. This prevents larger, more awkward fruits from getting trapped underneath, which is the fastest way to end your run. Think of it like a game of physics-based chess; every drop should set you up for future merges. Building from the sides inward is another popular and effective tactic.

What's the biggest fruit I can make?

The crown jewel of this entire fruit puzzle experience is the magnificent, screen-filling watermelon! This is the final and largest evolution in the game. Successfully folding two of the second-largest fruits to create the watermelon is the ultimate goal for any player aiming for a top score in Merge fruits: Fold the Watermelon!, and it rewards you with a massive point bonus.
