How to play 2048

2048 is a sliding-tile number puzzle. Every move slides all tiles as far as they can go; matching numbers merge and double. Your score goes up by the value of every merge. The game ends when the board is full and no moves are left.

  1. Slide – swipe on mobile, or use the arrow keys / WASD on desktop.
  2. Merge – two equal tiles combine: 2 + 2 = 4, 4 + 4 = 8, all the way to 2048.
  3. Plan – a new tile appears after every move, so keep space free.
