How to Play 2048
2048 is a number merge puzzle game. Slide tiles on a grid to combine matching numbers and reach the 2048 tile — and beyond!
Rules
Use arrow keys (desktop) or swipe gestures (mobile) to slide all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile with their combined value. A new tile (2 or 4) appears after each move. The game ends when no more moves are available.
Tips & Strategy
Keep your highest tile in a corner. Build a chain of decreasing values along one edge. Avoid moving your big tile away from the corner. Plan several moves ahead and try to keep the board as clean as possible.
Features
Choose between 4x4 and 5x5 board sizes, three visual themes, a daily challenge mode, score sharing, and a global leaderboard.
