More about this game
Your goal is to reach the 2048 tile by merging matching numbers on a 4x4 grid. Every time you slide the tiles, they all move as far as possible in that direction, and any matching numbers that collide will merge into one tile with double the value. After every move, a new 2 or 4 tile pops onto the board. The game ends when the grid is completely full and no more moves can be made.
Tips
- Keep your highest value tile in one corner to make merging easier.
- Only swipe in three directions to keep your main stack stable.
- Plan ahead to ensure you always have a valid move available.
Questions
How do I win?
You win by merging tiles until you create a single tile with the number 2048. You can keep playing after reaching it to get a higher score.
What happens when the board is full?
If the 4x4 grid is completely full and no adjacent tiles have the same number, you can no longer make a move and the game is over.
What tiles spawn after I move?
After every valid slide, a new tile appears in an empty spot. It has a 90% chance to be a 2 and a 10% chance to be a 4.
