🔢 2048

How to Play 2048

Use the arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to slide all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile with their combined value. A new tile (2 or 4) appears after each move. The goal is to create a tile with the number 2048.

Winning strategy: Keep your highest tile in a corner, typically the bottom-right or bottom-left. Build a chain of decreasing values toward that corner. Avoid moving toward your corner tile whenever possible. Think two to three moves ahead before sliding.

2048 was created by Gabriele Cirulli in March 2014 and published as an open-source project. It became one of the most-played browser games of all time within weeks of release.
