About 2048
2048 is a sliding number puzzle where matching tiles merge into bigger ones. This free online 2048 game works on any device: swipe on your phone or press the arrow keys on a computer. Combine 2s into 4s, 4s into 8s and keep going until you build the 2048 tile - or push for an even higher score.
2048 is a number puzzle played on a 4x4 grid. Slide tiles in any direction; when two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one with double the value.
Plan your moves, keep your biggest tile in a corner and try to reach the 2048 tile. Your score is the sum of all merges, and your best score is stored locally.
