How to play

Since 2048 takes place on such a small grid, there's not much demand for difficult or confusing controls. The only thing you're trying to do is slide tiles with the same numbers into each other to add them together, create space for new tiles, and get bigger numbers. The ultimate goal is to get one of your tiles up to 2048. You can click on New Game to reset the grid if need be. Controls The controls for sliding are basic and regulated entirely by a few buttons on the keyboard. They are as follows: W/Up Arrow - Slide tiles up A/Left Arrow - Slide tiles left D/Right Arrow - Slide tiles right S/Down Arrow - Slide tiles down Whenever you press a button to slide, all the tiles on the grid will slide in that direction (assuming they can). However, the tiles operating on the collision rule can affect your decision-making. For example, imagine your tiles cover the top row and there's a single tile below the one on the far left. If you were to slide the tiles to the right, only the lone tile would move. When sliding, tiles will move as far as they can until they hit either a wall or another tile and if the tile is the same number, they will merge into one tile with the sum of those numbers. Also, note that every time you slide, a new number 2 tile will appear. Controls The controls for sliding are basic and regulated entirely by a few buttons on the keyboard. They are as follows: W/Up Arrow - Slide tiles up A/Left Arrow - Slide tiles left D/Right Arrow - Slide tiles right S/Down Arrow - Slide tiles down

Frequently asked questions

Is there a winning pattern?
While no strategy guarantees a win every time, it's generally practiced to keep the largest numbered tiles in the corner of the grid.
Can you go past 2048?
Even though you'll have won the game once you get a tile to 2048, you're free to keep playing and aim for an even higher number as long as you have space to move.
