A FEW MINUTES OF PLAY

2048 Online

Play 2048 free in your browser. Merge equal tiles with arrow keys, swipe controls or on-screen buttons. No signup or download.

How to play

Slide the numbered tiles across a four-by-four board. When two equal tiles meet, they merge into one tile with twice the value. Each successful move adds a new tile, so space becomes as important as the score.

  1. Move the whole board with arrow keys, WASD, a swipe, or the direction buttons.
  2. Each tile merges once per move. Four 2 tiles become two 4 tiles, not one 8.
  3. Reach 2048, then keep playing if moves remain. A full board only ends the game when no neighboring tiles can merge.

A useful strategy

Keep your largest tiles close to a corner and avoid moves that break their order. It is a strategy to experiment with, not a guaranteed way to win.

What to expect

This is a locally played version of the 2048 concept with our own implementation. Progress resets on refresh. It has no leaderboard or cash prizes.
