🔢 2048 Puzzle

About this game

2048 is one of the most addictive number puzzles ever created, and this version brings the full experience straight into your browser. You slide tiles across a four-by-four grid using the arrow keys or a swipe gesture, and whenever two tiles carrying the same number touch, they merge into a single tile worth double the value. The goal is to keep combining tiles until you reach the legendary 2048 tile, although strong players often keep going well past that milestone toward 4096 or higher. What makes 2048 so compelling is the constant tension between clearing space and preserving your best options, since every move shifts the entire board and a careless slide can quickly box you into a corner with nowhere left to merge. Success depends on planning several moves ahead, keeping your highest tile anchored in a corner, and resisting the temptation to move in a direction that scrambles your careful setup. Your best score is saved locally, so you always have a target to beat on your next attempt.
