How to play
Swipe the board, use the arrow keys, or tap the buttons under it.
Keep your highest tile in a corner and build toward it.
A new 2, or sometimes a 4, appears after every move that changes the board.
Rules
- Each move slides every tile as far as it can go in one direction.
- Two tiles with the same number merge into their sum. A tile merges once per move.
- The round is won when a tile reaches 2048. It is lost when no slide changes the board.
Common questions
Is the score saved?
No. The score exists only on this page. Refreshing clears the board.
Can I keep playing after 2048?
The round ends when a tile reaches 2048. Play again starts a new board.
Why did nothing move?
If every tile is already packed against that side, and none can merge, that direction does nothing.
