2048

Slide, merge, repeat — the most addictive number game

2048 is the famously addictive sliding puzzle. Move the tiles with your arrow keys or by swiping — equal tiles merge into their sum. The goal: build a tile worth 2048. It sounds easy, but the board fills fast, and every move has to count. Your best score is saved automatically.

How to Play 2048

  1. Use arrow keys, WASD, or swipe to slide all tiles at once.
  2. Two tiles with the same number merge into one tile with double the value.
  3. New tiles (2 or 4) appear after every move.
  4. The game ends when the board is full and no moves remain.
  5. Reach 2048 to win — but why stop there?

Tips & Strategies

Keep your biggest tile in a corner and always push in the same two directions (e.g., Down and Left). Never move your corner tile unless you must. Keep the board ordered from high to low along one edge — this is the classic strategy that all high scorers use.
