How 2048 works

In 2048, you slide numbered tiles on a grid using directional controls to combine tiles of the same number. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a single tile with their combined value. Your goal is to create a tile with the number 2048 before the board fills up, ending the game.

Strategy tips

• Focus on keeping your highest-value tiles in a corner to manage space.
• Plan several moves ahead to avoid filling the board too quickly.
• Try to combine smaller tiles frequently to create space for new tiles.
