How to Play
2048 is an addictive sliding puzzle game where you combine numbered tiles to reach the coveted 2048 tile. The game is played on a 4x4 grid where tiles with matching numbers merge when they collide.
Start with two tiles (usually 2 or 4) and swipe or use arrow keys to move all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one tile with double the value. For example, two '2' tiles become one '4' tile, two '4' tiles become one '8' tile, and so on.
After every move, a new tile (2 or 4) randomly appears in an empty spot. The game ends when you can no longer make any moves. Your score increases by the value of every new tile created through merging.
Controls
