Example
2 and 2 merge into 4, and so on up to 2048. The game ends when the board is full and no merge is left.
Game Rules
Move tiles using arrow keys (↑↓←→) or swipe gestures. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one. For example, 2 and 2 become 4, and 4 and 4 become 8. After each move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears randomly in an empty space. Creating a 2048 tile means you win, but you can continue playing to achieve higher scores!
Strategy Tips
Use a strategy of aligning tiles in one direction (usually down or to one corner). Keep your largest tile in a corner and move smaller tiles toward it. It's important to maintain space to merge as many tiles as possible. Use the undo feature to correct mistakes.
