2048
Swipe or use the arrows to merge tiles and reach 2048. Runs entirely in your browser.
How to play
Slide all tiles one way (swipe, arrow keys, or the buttons). When two equal numbers collide, they merge into their sum (2+2→4, 4+4→8…). Aim for a 2048 tile. A new 2 or 4 appears after each move — if the board fills and nothing can merge, the game ends.
