How to Play

Use arrow keys or swipe to move tiles. Same numbers merge when they collide. Goal: reach 2048!

Objective

Slide tiles to merge matching numbers. Combine them to reach the target tile and win. The game ends when the board is full and no more merges are possible.

Controls

• Keyboard: ↑↓←→ or WASD to move tiles
• Keyboard: R for new game, U or Ctrl/Cmd+Z to undo
• Mobile: Swipe in any direction on the screen
• Tiles slide as far as possible in the swipe direction
• Two tiles with the same number merge into one when they collide, doubling the value
• After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears randomly on an empty spot

Tips & Strategy

• Keep your highest tile in a corner, arranged in descending order
• Avoid moving large tiles to the center
• Try to keep one row or column full to prevent tiles from scattering
• Plan your moves ahead to avoid blocking merge paths
• Use the undo feature to recover from mistakes
• 5×5 and 6×6 boards have more space, ideal for chasing higher tiles
