2048 is an addictive puzzle game where you slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one with their sum! Reach the 2048 tile to win, or keep going to achieve even higher scores and challenge yourself with increasingly difficult combinations.

2048 is a simple yet challenging sliding puzzle game with these basic rules:

  1. The game is played on a 4x4 grid, starting with two tiles (either 2 or 4).
  2. Use the arrow keys to slide all tiles in one direction (up, down, left, or right).
  3. When two tiles with the same number touch during a slide, they merge into a new tile with their combined value.
  4. After each move, a new tile with a value of either 2 or 4 appears randomly on an empty spot.
  5. The goal is to create a tile with the value 2048 by combining tiles.
  6. The game ends when there are no more possible moves (the grid is full and no adjacent tiles can be combined).

Plan your moves carefully to avoid getting stuck and aim for the highest score possible!

What's the best strategy for 2048?
A popular strategy is to keep your highest value tile in one corner and build in descending order. Many players prefer the "corner strategy" where you keep your largest numbers in one corner (often the bottom right) and build chains of decreasing values from that corner. Try to avoid moving your tiles in the direction of your highest value corner.
Is it possible to get beyond 2048?
Yes! You can continue playing after reaching 2048 to achieve higher number tiles like 4096, 8192, and even 16384 or 32768 if you're extremely skilled. The game only ends when there are no more possible moves.
My game is stuck, what happened?
If there are no more empty tiles and no adjacent tiles with the same value, the game ends. To restart, press the "New Game" button or the R key. To avoid getting stuck, try to maintain multiple options for combining tiles in every move.
What is the highest score possible?
Theoretically, the highest possible tile is 131,072 (2^17), which would lead to an extremely high score. However, most players consider reaching 2048 a win, and getting to 16,384 or higher is considered exceptional.
