How to Play

  • 1Use arrow keys (or WASD) to slide all tiles in one of four directions: up, down, left, or right
  • 2When two tiles with the same number collide while sliding, they merge into a single tile with their sum
  • 3After each move, a new tile (either 2 or 4) appears randomly on an empty spot on the grid
  • 4Continue combining tiles to create larger numbers: 2→4→8→16→32→64→128→256→512→1024→2048
  • 5The game is won when you create a 2048 tile, but you can continue playing to achieve even higher scores
  • 6The game ends when the grid fills up and no more moves are possible (no adjacent tiles can merge)
  • 7Plan your moves carefully - each swipe affects all tiles on the board, not just the ones you want to move

Features

  • Original 2048 gameplay with authentic mechanics and smooth animations
  • Clean, minimalist design with beautiful tile animations and color progression
  • Automatic save system - your progress is preserved between sessions
  • Unlimited gameplay - continue beyond 2048 to reach 4096, 8192, and higher tiles
  • Score tracking with best score memory and move counter
  • Mobile-friendly responsive design that works perfectly on all devices
  • Undo feature to reverse your last move (in some versions)
  • Keyboard and touch controls for optimal gaming experience on any device

Pro Tips

  • Keep your highest tile in a corner (preferably bottom-right) and build around it systematically
  • Focus on one direction - avoid moving your highest tile away from its corner position
  • Plan several moves ahead and think about how each swipe will affect the entire board
  • Don't fill up the grid completely - always leave room for new tiles to appear
  • Use the snake strategy: arrange tiles in descending order along one edge to create efficient merging chains
  • Practice patience - rushing leads to poor positioning and inevitable game over
  • Master the art of setting up chain reactions where one move triggers multiple merges
  • Learn to recover from mistakes - sometimes a 'bad' move can lead to unexpected opportunities
