2048 — Free Online Tile Puzzle Game
Slide tiles, combine matching numbers, and reach the 2048 tile. Unlimited plays, personal best tracking, one-level undo, and a hint system. Runs entirely in your browser — no account, no tracking.
Slide tiles with arrow keys, WASD, or swipe. Matching tiles merge. Reach 2048 to win — but keep playing for a high score.
How it works
Tiles slide to the edge in the chosen direction. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile worth their sum. A new tile (2 or 4) appears after each move. The game ends when no moves remain. The hint button shows the best calculated move using a heuristic: it maximises empty cells and merge potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I play?
- Use arrow keys, WASD, or swipe on mobile. Tiles with the same number merge when they collide. The game ends when the board is full and no merges are possible.
- What does the Hint button do?
- It calculates the move most likely to keep the most empty tiles and create the best merges, and shows an arrow indicator for 1.5 seconds.
- Is my score saved?
- Your personal best is saved in your browser's local storage. It persists across sessions on the same device.
- Do I have to stop at 2048?
- No — you can keep playing after reaching 2048 to chase a higher score.
