How to play

Each move slides every tile in one direction. Equal numbers that collide merge into their double, and that value is added to your score.

  • After a valid move, a 2 (or sometimes a 4) appears in an empty cell.
  • A tile merges at most once per move.
  • Making a 2048 tile clears the goal. Choose Keep going to chase larger tiles and scores.
  • When the board is full and no adjacent equals remain, the game ends. Undo reverses your latest move.

Controls

  • Slide tiles with arrow keys or WASD.
  • On touch or mouse, swipe the board or use the on-screen direction pad.
  • Undo reverses your latest move; start a new game from the menu.

Strategy tips

  • Keep your highest tile in a corner and build toward that edge.
  • Avoid scattering small tiles — leave empty cells so merges have room.
  • Before the board fills, plan paths that bring equal numbers together.

Goal and keep going

Making a 2048 tile clears the goal. Choose Keep going to chase larger tiles and scores. Best score is saved in this browser. There is no AI difficulty setting.

Common beginner mistakes

  • Letting the high tile wander makes merges harder — anchor a corner.
  • Random four-direction spam fills the board — keep a main direction.
  • When stuck, undo and try another line before quitting.
