Slide numbered tiles to combine them and reach 2048!
About 2048
2048 is a challenging puzzle game that combines numbers and strategy. Players slide tiles to combine matching numbers (2+2=4, 4+4=8, etc.) aiming to reach 2048. Each game offers a new challenge with randomized tile placement and requires strategic planning to manage limited board space.
Objective
Combine numbered tiles to reach the 2048 tile and achieve a high score. The game continues after reaching 2048 if you want to continue playing.
Controls
Use arrow keys (↑↓←→) or WASD to move tiles in any direction. On mobile, swipe up, down, left, or right.

⚖️ Game Rules
- ✓Tiles with the same number merge when moved into each other
- ✓After each move, a new tile (usually 2 or 4) appears randomly on an empty space
- ✓The game ends when the board is full and no moves are possible
- ✓Tiles combine only in the direction you move
- ✓Each merged tile combines only once per move
- ✓Higher numbered tiles give more points
💡 Strategy Tips
Keep larger numbers in one corner (usually bottom-right or bottom-left) to manage board space
Avoid placing random tiles in corners - they limit your maneuvering options
Focus on creating one large tile chain rather than scattered tiles across the board
Keep the edges valuable - they limit tile placement but provide strategic advantage
Plan 3-4 moves ahead to avoid getting trapped with nowhere to move
