How to play

Controls and objective

Swipe or use the arrow keys to slide every tile. Equal numbers merge when they meet; keep the board open while building toward the 2048 tile.

Quick tips

  • Pause before each move and check what it changes elsewhere on the board.
  • Keep useful space open instead of taking the first match or move you see.
  • Restarting is quick, so use an early round to learn the rules and scoring.
