How to play 2048 like a pro

How to Play

2048 is played on a 4x4 grid. Swipe up, down, left, or right to move all tiles. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile worth their sum. After every move, a new tile (usually a 2 or 4) appears in a random empty spot.

The game ends when the grid is full and no merges are possible. The official goal is creating a 2048 tile, but skilled players aim for 4096, 8192, or higher.

Controls

Arrow keys or WASD on desktop. Swipe on touchscreens. Some versions support undo.

Scoring

Your score increases by the value of every merge. Larger merges give bigger point jumps.
