Play 2048 online
Slide matching tiles to combine them. Reach 2048—or keep going for a higher score.
How to play
Use arrow keys or WASD on desktop. On touch devices, swipe on the board to slide tiles in that direction.
When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. Each move adds a new tile. The game ends when the board is full and no merges are possible.

Tips to score higher
Keep your highest tile in a corner and build toward it. Avoid scattering large numbers in the middle of the board, and try not to swipe in the direction that opens your anchor corner unless you have to.
