About 2048
2048 is a sliding-tile number puzzle. Each move pushes every tile as far as it can go, and two tiles with the same number combine into their sum. A new 2 or 4 appears after every move, so the board fills up quickly if you are not careful.
Reaching the 2048 tile is the classic goal, but the game continues afterwards and your score keeps growing with every merge. This version includes an undo button, so you can experiment with strategies without losing a good run.
Tips and strategy
- Pick one corner for your biggest tile and never move it away.
- Prefer moves along one axis and use the perpendicular one only when you must.
- Keep tiles in descending order along an edge.
- Merge small tiles early to keep the board open.
How to play
- Swipe or use the arrow keys (or WASD) to slide every tile.
- When two equal tiles touch they merge into one.
- Use Undo if you make a slip, up to 10 moves back.
- Reach the 2048 tile, then keep going for a higher score.
