2048

2048 is a number puzzle in which matching tiles combine into larger values. Every slide changes the arrangement, so the challenge is keeping enough room to make useful merges while building toward the 2048 tile. Simple arithmetic gives it a clear goal, but the board rewards planning several moves ahead. It is easy to understand after a few turns and works well when you want a thoughtful score chase with no complicated rules to memorize.

2048: useful things to know

A good fit for players who enjoy building a long chain of number combinations rather than solving a fixed picture puzzle.

Can a 2 tile merge with a 4 tile?

No. A merge needs two equal values: two 2 tiles become a 4, and two 4 tiles become an 8. Look for a matching partner rather than the next number in a sequence.

Does a score of 2048 mean I have reached the goal?

The stated goal is to create a single tile worth 2048. A total score and the value of your largest tile are different things, so check the tile itself when judging progress toward that target.
