2048 — Puzzle Game

Join the numbers and get to the 2048 tile!

2048 is a simple but addictive number puzzle. Merge matching tiles, plan a few moves ahead, and build toward the 2048 tile.

How to Play

Slide the board to move every tile. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one. A new tile appears after every move, so keep space available and build your highest tile in a corner.

Controls

• Desktop: Use the Arrow keys to slide tiles.
• Mobile: Swipe in the direction you want the tiles to move.
• Goal: Merge matching numbers until you reach 2048.

Tips

• Keep your highest tile in one corner and build a descending chain beside it.
• Avoid moving the highest tile away from its corner unless you have a clear recovery path.
• Plan for the next tile, not just the merge that is available now.
