About This Tool
The addictive sliding tile puzzle. Swipe or use arrow keys to combine numbered tiles: two 2s make a 4, two 4s make an 8, and so on. Reach the 2048 tile to win, then keep going for an even higher score. Supports keyboard, swipe, and touch controls.
How to Use
Use arrow keys or swipe to slide all tiles in one direction.
When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile with their sum.
After every move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears in a random empty spot.
Plan ahead to reach the 2048 tile — and keep going for a higher score.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest possible tile?

What is a good score?
Reaching 2048 (score ~20,000) is a solid achievement. Scores over 50,000 indicate strong strategic play.
What's the best strategy?
Keep your highest tile in a corner. Build a chain of decreasing values along one edge. Avoid moving in the direction that pulls your highest tile away from its corner.
