2048

About 2048

Slide the tiles, merge the matching numbers and try to build the legendary 2048 tile. A simple rule that hides a genuinely deep strategy game.

2048 sits in our Puzzle collection on WeiNing Games. Like every game here it runs in the browser using HTML5, so there is nothing to install and nothing to wait for — open the page, tap play and you are in. Sessions are short enough for a break between classes or a commute, but the better you get, the more there is to chase.

How to play 2048

Use the arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to push every tile in one direction. Two tiles with the same number merge into one. You win when a 2048 tile appears — but the game does not stop there, so keep going for a high score.

• Desktop: mouse and keyboard — click, drag or use the arrow keys.
• Mobile & tablet: tap, swipe or tilt depending on the title.
• Progress: most games save your best score or level on the device, so you can come back later.

Tips and tricks for 2048

• Scan the whole board before your first move; the obvious move is often a trap.
• Work from the corners inward — edge pieces have fewer possibilities.
• If you are stuck, step away for a minute. Fresh eyes spot the pattern you missed.
