How 2048 (Version 2) works

Using the arrow keys or swipe controls, slide all the tiles on the grid in one direction. Tiles with the same number touch and merge into a single tile with their sum. Continue combining tiles to reach the 2048 tile before no moves are left. The game ends when no further merges or moves are possible.

Strategy tips

Focus on keeping your highest value tile in a corner to organize merges effectively.
Plan moves ahead to create opportunities for multiple merges in one slide.
Avoid filling up the board too quickly; try to leave empty spaces for new tiles.
