More about this game
Slide numbered tiles across a 4x4 board to combine matching values. Every time you move, a new 2 or 4 tile appears in an empty spot. Merging two tiles adds their values together, increasing your score. The difficulty rises as higher numbers take up space on the board. The run ends when the grid is completely full and no more moves can be made.
Tips
- Keep your highest value tile in one corner to prevent it from getting trapped.
- Only swipe in three directions to maintain your corner strategy.
- Plan ahead to ensure you always have a valid move available.
Questions
How do I win the game?
You win by merging tiles until you create a single tile with the number 2048. After reaching it, you can continue playing to increase your high score.
What happens when the board is full?
If the 4x4 board fills up and there are no adjacent matching tiles to merge, the game is over. You must tap the restart button to try again.
What tiles spawn after I move?
Every time you make a valid move, a new tile appears in a random empty spot. There is a 90% chance it will be a 2, and a 10% chance it will be a 4.
