📖 About & Rules: 2048
2048 is a viral mathematical sliding tile puzzle created to test strategic planning and spatial organization.
Game Rules
Slide tiles across a 4x4 grid. When two tiles with the same number collide during a move, they merge into a single tile with double the value (e.g. 2 + 2 = 4, 1024 + 1024 = 2048). A new tile (2 or 4) randomly appears after each slide. The game ends when no legal moves remain.
How to Play
Swipe or use keyboard arrow keys to slide all tiles in one direction. Merge numbers systematically toward the 2048 target tile.
Controls & Shortcuts
Tips & Strategies
- Keep your highest-value tile locked in one corner (e.g. bottom-right corner) and build values monotonically around it.
- Never swipe in the direction that dislodges your highest tile from its corner.
