FAQ
How do I play?
Use the arrow keys (or swipe on a touchscreen) to slide every tile in one direction. Tiles with the same number merge into one, doubling its value. A new tile appears after every move.
What happens when I reach 2048?
The classic goal is to create a 2048 tile, but nothing stops the game there — you can keep playing and merging toward 4096, 8192, and beyond until the board fills up.
When is the game over?
When the board is completely full and no adjacent tiles share the same number — meaning no move in any direction would slide or merge anything.
Is my best score saved?
Yes — your best score is saved to this browser's local storage, so it persists across visits on the same device. It's never uploaded anywhere.
