How to play: On Computer
Use your arrow keys (↑, ↓, ←, →) to move the tiles. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one with their total value. Start with 2s and 4s, and work your way up to the 2048 tile! The game ends when the board fills up and no more moves are possible. On Mobile: Swipe up, down, left, or right to move the tiles across the grid. Tiles with the same number will combine into one when they touch, doubling their value. Aim to create a tile with the number 2048, but don't stop there! You can keep playing to achieve even higher scores. The game concludes when no more moves can be made, meaning the grid is full and no adjacent tiles can be combined.
Tips and tricks
Plan your moves ahead. Try to predict where new tiles will appear and how you can merge them efficiently. Keep your highest-value tile in a corner and build around it. This strategy helps in avoiding unnecessary merges and keeps your board clean. Try to keep the tiles ordered. Keeping your tiles organized into a snake-like or another specific pattern can be beneficial.
