2048: how to play

In 2048 you merge tiles with the same number to make bigger ones until you reach the 2048 tile.

Controls

Arrow keys or swipe. All tiles move at once in the chosen direction.

Rules

  • Two equal tiles that collide add up into one.
  • After each move a new tile appears, a 2 or a 4.
  • The game ends when no move is possible.
  • The daily challenge uses the same starting board and the same new tiles for everyone.

Tips

  • Keep your highest tile in a corner.
  • Avoid moving in the direction opposite to that corner.
  • Think one move ahead.
