About 2048

2048 is the sliding number puzzle that took over lunch breaks everywhere. Slide the tiles in any of four directions; tiles with the same number merge into one when they touch. Every move adds a new tile, so the board slowly fills. Reach the 2048 tile to win, then keep going for a higher score.

The game is simple to learn and surprisingly deep. Good players keep their biggest tile in a corner and build a chain of descending values along one edge. Free to play in your browser at Cuppa.

How to play 2048

  1. Swipe or use the arrow keys to slide every tile on the board.
  2. When two tiles with the same number collide they merge into their sum.
  3. A new 2 or 4 appears after each move. Keep space free.
  4. Make a 2048 tile to win. The game ends when the board is full and no merge is possible.

A new puzzle is published every morning, Sydney time, and signed-in members keep their streaks and scores across devices.
