2048 is a single-player sliding tile puzzle that is incredibly easy to learn but surprisingly hard to master. Every move slides all the tiles on a 4×4 grid in one of four directions. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a single tile with double the value. The goal is to combine your way up to the legendary 2048 tile — but the real challenge is keeping the board from filling up before you get there.
Our free online version of 2048 runs entirely in your browser, on phones, tablets, and laptops alike. Swipe on touchscreens or use arrow keys on a keyboard. Your best score is saved locally so you can keep pushing your personal record without any account or signup. Quick to start, satisfying to play, and impossible to put down.
