How to play
Swipe to merge equal tiles; reach the 2048 tile to win. The game ends when no move is possible.
Prioritize space and merges
Every merge doubles a tile, but chasing one large number is less reliable than arranging smaller tiles in merge order. Keep the largest tile anchored in one corner.
Empty cells are decision space. Delay a scoring merge if it blocks the center, and preserve a consistent directional flow.
Origin & history
2048 was built in a weekend in 2014 by 19-year-old Gabriele Cirulli as an open-source project and became an instant worldwide phenomenon.
FAQ
What's the high-score strategy?
Lock your biggest tile in one corner and avoid the direction that would dislodge it. Keep one edge row in descending order.
