How do you play 2048?
Use the arrow keys or WASD (or swipe on mobile) to slide all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. Reach the 2048 tile to win — then keep going for a higher score.

Yes. Swipe up, down, left, or right to move the tiles, and tap to restart after a game over.
How do I get a high score in 2048?
Keep your largest tile pinned in one corner, build a descending chain of tiles toward it, and avoid moving in the direction that breaks that structure. See our how-to-win guide for the full strategy.
