2048
Merge tiles to reach 2048
What is the 2048?
2048 is a sliding tile puzzle game where you combine matching numbered tiles to reach the 2048 tile. Every swipe moves all tiles in one direction and a new tile (2 or 4) spawns. The game ends when the board is full with no possible merges.
How to Use
- 1Use arrow keys or swipe to slide all tiles in one direction
- 2Tiles with the same number merge when they collide
- 3A new tile appears after each move
- 4Reach the 2048 tile to win — or keep going for higher scores
What is a Good Score?
Reaching the 2048 tile is the primary goal, achieved by roughly 1 in 3 casual players. Strong players reach 4096 or 8192. Theoretical maximum in a 4x4 grid is 131072.
Tips to Improve
- →Keep your highest tile in one corner and build toward it consistently
- →Avoid moving in the direction away from your high-tile corner
- →The "corner strategy" (snake pattern toward a corner) is the most reliable path to 2048
