Outside identity and original calculation evidence

FV26 is a search reference in this independent guide. It does not establish a verified publisher, official domain, licence, app, support channel or payment service. The guide does not authenticate an outside operator or conclude that absence from an unspecified list proves fraud. Merge Furnace is an original browser simulator with free virtual coins and no cash redemption. Its mathematical checks apply to this demo only. They do not authenticate an outside company or demonstrate that any commercial game has the same rules.

Sample six independent uniform tiles with values 0, 1 or 2. There are six tiles, not six levels or rows of tiles. The original order matters. The engine searches for the leftmost adjacent equal pair v,v, replaces it with one v+1 tile, then restarts scanning from the left. Repeat until no equal neighbours remain. Raw reward is the total number of merges, including cascades. It is not the final tile value, sum or remaining tile count. The player chooses no merge or movement. A fixed initial word determines its automatic merges, while initial words are randomly sampled.

Let M be the complete-round merge count and p the preselected power 1, 2 or 3. Gross multiplier = 0.96 × M^p / E[M^p]. The denominator is the exact mean of the same powered reward over all 729 equally likely initial words, not the mean of M raised afterwards to p. The three means are 1.9026063100137107, 5.213991769547331 and 16.750342935528028. Each power returns 96% in expectation, not a 96% win chance or guaranteed result. A zero merge count pays zero for every power. Changing power changes return sizes, not the probability of a positive merge count. Gross return includes returned stake; no additional factor is taken.

The initial word 110000 has five merges: 110000→20000→2100→211→22→3. The restart from the left is necessary, including the final 2+2→3 cascade. It finishes as one tile, but rewards five because five replacements occurred. 012012 contains no adjacent equal pair, so it has zero merges and zero return. The original six tiles remain visible beside a ledger of every automatic replacement. Across all 729 words, merge counts 0,1,2,3,4,5 occur 96,208,200,141,64,20 times.

Before starting choose stake 10,20,50 or100 and reward power1,2 or3. One stake and that power are captured before the six samples. Only one round runs at a time. Stake, power and refill lock while it is active. There is no mid-round cashout or manual merge control. Auto starts at most ten successive rounds, waiting for each to settle before the next. Stop cancels future starts and allows the captured active round to finish. It also cancels a queued but not yet captured round. Auto ends when the wallet cannot fund another stake. Reduced motion changes animation only, leaving complete-round reward unchanged.
