Description
Instructions: Use your mouse to play this game.
2048 is a number puzzle with a goal that sounds almost too simple. You join numbers together to make bigger ones, and the target is a single tile showing 2048.
Getting there is another matter, since a high score takes careful thinking and a clear plan for the board. A mouse works on a computer and a finger works on a smartphone, and other number and logic games are in Puzzle.
Reaching the 2048 tile
The classic 2048 rules are easy to learn. Tiles with equal numbers merge into one tile worth their sum when they meet, so two 2s make a 4, two 4s make an 8, and so on. Each move slides all the tiles in one direction and a new small tile appears. Keep merging until you build a 2048 tile.
Tips for a high score
- Keep your biggest tile in one corner and build around it.
- Try to use the same two or three directions most of the time.
- Avoid moves that pull your largest tile out of its corner.
