🔢 2048

2048

1. Swipe or press an arrow key: every tile slides as far as it can.
2. Two tiles with the same number merge into one with double the value.
3. A new 2 or 4 appears after each move. The game ends when no move is left.

The rules in detail

The board is 4 by 4. Each move slides every tile as far as it can in that direction; two tiles with the same number that meet merge once per move, and the merged value is added to your score. After every move that changes the board, a new tile appears in a random empty square: a 2 nine times out of ten, otherwise a 4. Reaching 2048 counts as a win, but you can keep playing. The game ends when no move changes the board. Undo takes back your last move once. Your best score is kept on this device.

Tips

• Keep your biggest tile in one corner and build along that edge.
• Use mostly two directions (for example left and down) and avoid the opposite of your corner.
• Do not chase every merge: keep a row full and ordered so big tiles cannot get trapped.
